In an effort to reduce recidivism and understand long term effects of stealing, Cleveland Municipal Court created an in house Petty Theft class.  This free, 90 minute class is held via zoom every other month and taught by Probation Officer Jodi Burmeister. 

Topics such as employee theft, how it affects the community and loved ones, crimes of moral turpitude, the fraud triangle, prevention and mental rehearsing are covered.  Participants interact through poll questions and identify triggers.  Referrals from outside courts are welcome.
