COURSE DESCRIPTION

Writing bad checks is a symptom of deeper problems. The objective of this course is to challenge the faulty thinking errors behind passing bad checks.

Some bad checks happen because of mistakes and bad accounting practices, while other were written on purpose. Regardless, there are many opportunities to catch this behavior before it gets into the criminal justice system. Mostbad checks are written because of moral turpitude-on purpose. Often, people who pass bad checks confuse wants and needs and choose to live beyond their means. Mix in denial drugs, procrastination, and rationalization,and you have a recipe for theft.
