Well one thing you can include is shoplifting jacks up the prices of everything else! Also if it is a small store with few employees, the merchandise stolen can be deducted out of the employees paycheck, and somtimes those people need every penny!
To start out with I would do one of two things, {depending on your personal choice} .
I would either a)put 'shoplifting-' in italics and bold print, then after in just italics the definition of shoplifting.
OR
B) State a shocking fact: FOR EXAMPLE: (not true by the way) 6 out of every 8 shoplifters are sentenced to 20+ years in prison.
Its not only interesting but gets the readers attention.
You could also start out with a question, and end with the answer, i havn't ever done that but it is pretty neat too!
ORGANIZING:
Introduction: Opening statement, grabs the readers attention, gives alittle insight to what is to come in the essay.
Body: Consisting of several paragraphs 3 or more about topics on shoplifting. Each paragraphing a different point to the article.
Conclusion or closing: Ending, restating main idea and making sure topic is stated.

That is an interesting topic for an essay. I cannot outline everything for you, but I can give you some suggestions that might help you. Try to brainstorm reasons why shoplifting is a bad idea- jot down reasons on a piece of paper, and then go through your list any narrow it down to a few really important things you can write about. For each of those reasons, write down maybe a couple of points/examples that help to strengthen your argument. For example, if you were to write that shoplifting is bad because it is against the law, you could give a couple of consequences, such as prison time, lawyer fees, bail, etc. Think of some important reasons- legal, moral, etc.., and ellaborate on those.
As for how you can make better decisions, that is a hard one.. try to think of some things yourself, ie.: what could you do instead of shoplifting, how you'd be a better person/citizen by not shoplifting, etc.. I think a good way to organize your essay would be to start of with an introduction that briefly introduces why shoplifting is a bad idea (without going into too much detail) and just briefly mention that avoiding shoplifting is the better and more moral option (or something like that). You could divide your essay by writing maybe a couple paragraphs (the body) on the negative aspects of shoplifting, and the last body paragraph should discuss how to make better decisions. Your conclusion should very briefly tie together whatever you mention in your essay- rather than introducing new ideas, it should only restate and reinforce what has already been said.
Before starting, it would be a really good idea to make a brief outline of your essay- it helps organize your thoughts so you can write a coherent essay. You can organize according to paragraph (ie., intro, paragraph 1, 2., etc., conclusion), and for each section, make bullet points (main ideas) and sub-points, or examples you will use to strengthen each bullet point (main point). While writing, keep in mind to have good flow (ideas should follow each other logically and sort of blend into each other), and to have enough supporting information to strengthen your essay.
Good luck, and let me know if you have any questions.
