How old is your daughter is she an adult or a juvenille? Here is what I found out about the statue:

(4) Shoplifting is a disorderly persons offense under subsection b. of this section if the full retail value of the merchandise is less than $200.00. Additionally, notwithstanding the term of imprisonment provided in N.J.S.2C:43-6 or 2C:43-8, any person convicted of a shoplifting offense shall be sentenced to perform community service as follows: for a first offense, at least ten days of community service; for a second offense, at least 15 days of community service; and for a third or subsequent offense, a maximum of 25 days of community service and any person convicted of a third or subsequent shoplifting offense shall serve a minimum term of imprisonment of not less than 90 days.

I would check the NJ database to see if she has a criminal record. If so I would try and get it expunged. It may not be a bad idea to contact a criminal defense attorney. It may cost a hundred bucks in fees, but may be well worth it.

Here the database for the New Jersey Criminal Court:
http://php.app.com/njsent/search.php which is probably not what you want..

Check out:
http://www.state.nj.us/njsp/about/serv_chrc.html

the description is:
New Jersey Administrative Code (N.J.A.C.) 13:59-1 et seq. authorizes the dissemination of New Jersey criminal history record information (CHRI) by the New Jersey State Police (NJSP), Identification & Information Technology Section (I&ITS), State Bureau of Identification (SBI) for noncriminal justice purposes. The following entities are authorized to obtain from the SBI all records of convictions in the New Jersey state courts and, regardless of their age, all records of pending arrests and charges for violations of New Jersey laws, unless such records have been expunged.

Good luck!
