Retail Security Safety Crime Reduction
History
Shopcrime
Some years ago in a conversation, it was viewed
that the majority of crime prevention (now called reduction) fell
short of reaching the public (now called the Community) who were
engaged in Shopping.
It is one of the most vulnerable times, when the mind can be
elsewhere (for the Shopper). Comparing designs, products and prices
blocking thought and attention. Vulnerable for the Shop Staff
surrounded by items that many make a daily vigil to attempt theft.
Retail Security Officers somewhere in the middle attempting to
protect all but normally brought in for unacceptable stock loss
reasons.
When talking about the types of crime surrounding shops and shopping
- the word 'shopcrime' was born to describe it.
Unfortunately that crime went from the most petty to the most
serious.
Shopcrime now exists as an independent among corporate image and
targeted marketing.
