Retail Security Safety Crime Reduction
Crime
Shops by there very nature may have been
subject to crime from inception. More from the Staff and the
Supplier side, such was the structure. Not forgetting the
Shopkeeper! Short measure being of note.
Some of the largest multiples (chains) started from a single run
family based shop. This is not news, but with the inception of
branding and investment, the shop front has changed.
It is a daily battle in the UK to repel the criminal, violent,
public order and
racist element. Improvements in recorded and reported crimes made
only at the expense of continual and extra vigilance.
Crime reduction only met by having a physical presence of deterrent.
Not by the improvement in the UK of criminal and anti-social
behaviour.
That has gone past the point of no return in some UK areas - with
the added benefit of not receiving proper sentencing in the criminal
justice system - that improves or modifies the behaviour of an
individual.
Added to this increased addiction, Alcohol, Drugs and Gambling, all
of which will change perceptions of honesty and decency to one of
need.
Not mention those who are brought up with a changed perception of
honesty and decency (Criminal).
The future does not look bright, its Grey...
Crime
Shopcrime is as old as the first shop.
