\"Click<\/a>Figures from a survey distributed in connection with an upcoming series of anti-shoplifting assemblies estimate losses from shoplifting in Utah supermarkets at a minimum of $8,195 daily – and that in a year’s time $2,983,000 worth of goods will be stolen.<\/p>\n

For the entire United States, the FBI estimates businessmen lose $5 billion a year from shoplifting.<\/p>\n

In many businesses, shrinkage losses are more than net profits, says the\u00a0survey. In the final analysis, of course, it’s the public which must pay the bill.<\/p>\n

That’s why the Legislature adopted its new Utah anti-shoplifting law. It is important that people understand the law. A series of anti-shoplifting assemblies being arranged in northern Utah County will help achieve that goal.<\/p>\n

A major thrust will be to help parents understand their legal responsibility if their child is caught stealing. This is prompted by statistics which-show that 55 per cent of all shoplifters are under 18\u00a0years of age and 9 per cent are under 12.<\/p>\n

The public assemblies in\u00a0Alpine School District\u00a0are scheduled follows: Orem High School, Sept. 10 at 7:00 p.m.; American Fork High\u00a0School, Sept. 11 at 7:30 p.m.; Pleasant Grove High School, Sept. 11, 6:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.; Lehi High School, Sept. 11, 7:30 p.m.<\/p>\n

The assemblies are being held through joint cooperation of the North Utah County Youth Bureau, the local schools, PTAs, and local police departments.<\/p>\n

The attorney general has given his stamp of approval on the assembly outline and plans call for holding similar meetings in each school district in the state.<\/p>\n

The over-all anti-;shoplifting campaign involves a three-way attack, including: (1) Statewide information plan utilizing all forms of media; (2) In-store education programs, including seminars for merchants; (3) Education programs for students in Utah, with assemblies planned for every grade school, junior high school, and high school.<\/p>\n

Certainly shoplifting is a costly and disgusting practice that needs to be curbed. The new law, with much tougher provisions than before, provides a springboard for the various programs being\u00a0planned in\u00a0the war against the crime.<\/p>\n

People\u00a0should take steps to understand the law and its implications. The Herald\u00a0urges you in attend assemblies as a step in getting informed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
