Who is affected by retail crime and what is the impact on workers, businesses and communities? What is the relationship between shoplifting and crimes against retail workers? How do experiences vary e.g. by locality and business size?
Background
The Scottish Government’s Vision for Justice aims to address the underlying causes of crime and create a society in which people feel, and are, safer in their communities. As such, Justice Analytical Services have identified the theme ‘Crime, Prevention & Specific Crime Types’ as a research priority. Robust research on crime and its various dimensions as well as prevention strategies will inform work towards these aims.
