Kleptomania is an impulse control disorder. It refers to an irresistible compulsion to steal, motivated by neurotic impulse rather than material need. For Kleptomaniacs, stealing is not about money; it is about feeling and the rush of lairing on edge. People with kleptomania have long been ignored by the frontline workers and even the policymakers as the actual number of these people is not realistic and reflective. Very often, kleptomania ran away with the treatment at an earlier date, fearing that the treatment providers would notify the police. More often, the judiciary does not have sufficient measures to deal with their case as the notion of kleptomania is not an easy case to define and follow. Thus, most people may have to face painful consequences, like probation and even imprisonment. Nevertheless, the possible way out for these clients is rehabilitation instead of imprisonment. Kleptomania often does not involve one offense, but whether the subjects are willing to disclose the related statistics is a question. This paper would like to take kleptomania as a case study to review the forcing factors that have influenced the statistics far higher than the official data. The present study will try to explain the reasons and recommend effective methods to motivate a possible way-out. The case study method was used in this methodology. Investing in the successful reintegration of ex-offenders is the smart thing to do. If we can offer comprehensive projects within and outside of prisons, we can prevent recidivism.
