d

Answer to Question 2

Snitches are usually respectable people who do not see themselves as thieves but are systematic shoplifters who steal merchandise for their own use. Some snitches are simply overcome by an uncontrollable urge to snatch something that attracts them, while others arrive at the store intending to steal. Some adolescents become shoplifters because they have been coerced by older kids into becoming proxy shoplifters, forced to steal goods with the understanding that if caught their youth will protect them from prosecution. When caught, they may try to rationalize or neutralize their behavior.
