Answered by ExamLex AI

Amateur shoplifters are typically individuals who engage in shoplifting on a sporadic basis and often do so impulsively or for the thrill of getting away with it. They may not have a specific plan or target in mind when they enter a store, and their methods may be less sophisticated. Amateur shoplifters are more likely to be caught due to their lack of experience and planning. On the other hand, professional shoplifters are individuals who engage in shoplifting as a means of making a living or supplementing their income. They often have a well-thought-out plan before entering a store, including identifying high-value items to steal and knowing how to avoid detection. Professional shoplifters may work alone or as part of a larger organized crime ring, and they are often more skilled at concealing their actions and evading store security measures. In summary, the main differences between amateur and professional shoplifters lie in their level of experience, planning, and motivation. Amateur shoplifters are more likely to be impulsive and less skilled at avoiding detection, while professional shoplifters are more calculated and may be part of organized criminal operations.

A) Because the number of fences and other outlets for stolen goods have increased over the past twenty years.
B) Because professional shoplifters are recruiting amateur shoplifters in an effort to develop shoplifting gangs.
C) Because popular retailers rely on highly visible merchandise displays to attract purchasers.
D) Because shoplifting is commonly committed by teenagers who have comprised an increasing percentage of the population over the past two decades.
