5. Issues/Questions
5.1
Is shop-lifting a petty and victimless crime?
Shop lifting is theft/stealing from a shop, it means the shopkeeper loses money and may have to raise prices on his other goods to make up for the loss of income. It is serious and not a victimless crime.
5.2
How can I resist peer pressure?
Listen to your gut feelings, plan for possible situations where you suspect peer pressure is going to happen. Arrange a “bail-out” code with your parents or a trusted adult and learn to feel comfortable saying no. You can “blame” your parents for not letting you do something and if the situation is dangerous, contact a trusted adult.

Is it true I cannot go on overseas holidays if I have a criminal record?
Some countries will not allow you to enter them or give you a visa if you have a criminal record.

Will carrying a knife protect a young person from crime?
Usually the opposite, carrying a knife can encourage the holder to use it and therefore commit a crime, or it can be taken off the carrier and used against them.
