Shoplifting is a Serious Offense in NJ
Shoplifting is a very serious offense. Depending on the
facts of your case you might go to jail, although fines or community service are more likely. Whatever your sentence turns out to be, however, if you are found guilty, you are now in the criminal justice system as a criminal with a jacket. This can effect future opportunities for you when you apply for a job or to get an apartment. Even a future spouse can look up your criminal record.
