Webinar

Emeritus Professor Adrian Beck, based on research findings from a report by the ECR Retail Loss Group, will explore the theories supporting risk amplification, and its role in theft reduction. He will then share the available evidence on the effectiveness of a range of interventions currently being used that may be employed to try and reduce theft by making offenders think twice about commiting a crime through amplifying their sense of perceived risk of detection. Taking each intervention in turn, tagging, CCTV, Signage, Security & Sales staff, and shelf based interventions, the report shares the available evidence, providing perspective on the relative 'quality' of the research and the results presented.
