People who occasionally shoplift on an impulse are not really dishonest?

While impulse shoplifting may stem from momentary urges rather than a premeditated intent to steal, it still reflects an underlying disregard for property rights and societal norms. Such behavior can be influenced by various factors, including emotional distress or a desire for thrill, but it ultimately constitutes theft. Labeling impulse shoplifters as "not really dishonest" overlooks the impact of their actions on businesses and the community, regardless of their motivations. Recognizing the complexity of their behavior is essential, but it doesn’t absolve them of responsibility for their actions.
