Riassunto

Shopping and Crimedraws on criminology, behavioural economics and marketing to help understand retail crime as a cultural phenomenon. Shopping is now the largest consumer leisure activity, and this has led to an exponential rise in the levels of retail crime. In this topical volume Professor Bamfield analyses important new datasets on employee theft and shoplifting to show the nature of the problem, its origins and possible solutions. Crime prevention is explored as a management issue, using criminomics, a new concept based on commercial realities rather than maximizing arrests. This emphasises communications and persuasion within organisations, supported by a web of collaborative projects between retailers, police and other crime agencies.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

'...stimulating book on retail loss, described as a 'must read' by Prof Martin Gill at the Retail Fraud conference in London in April...This pungent and well argued book ranges far wider than its title.' - Professional Security

'a thorough, well reasoned treatise on the scope, complexity and pervasiveness of retail property crime, with an historical focus on asset protection and loss prevention [...] Bamfield persuasively argues that the allure of shopping, encouraged by retailers' marketing efforts, is itself a contributor to retail crime, along with deviant behavior.' - Robert L. DiLonardo, Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books
