Unsupervised juvenile shoppers sometimes require their own anti shoplifting attention. Unfortunately teenagers are still developing their sense of right and wrong as well as trying to rebel against authority. So just what is best way to handle suspicious teenagers without chewing them up and spitting them out?
Although youthful shoplifters may appear bold at times, that is usually just to impress their peers. They of course prefer to avoid detection, or in some cases find a reason not to shoplift. In ten years of working with a local county juvenile probation department in their anti shoplifting campaign, I came across very few juvenile offenders who were alone when the committed the act of shoplifting.
Given that all shoplifters, particularly young and relatively inexperienced ones, want to choose the easiest target possible as a victim, retailers who have installed retail anti theft devices like those manufactured by Checkpoint Security Systems have the best chance of deterring potential juvenile shoplifters from committing their crimes.
Clothing is a prime target of teenagers, particularly females. Clothing is one of the easiest items of merchandise to protect using Checkpoint Security Systems retail anti theft devices. Simply place Checkpoint tags or Checkpoint labels on the merchandise you are having theft problems with and they will stop shoplifting almost 100% of the time. Checkpoint tags and Checkpoint Labels are virtually impossible to remove (use genuine Checkpoint Security Systems equipment, not a cheap knockoff that can be easily defeated) by a potential shoplifter. Checkpoint Tags and Checkpoint labels are a visual deterrent to most would be shoplifters and will effectively stop shoplifting from most teens, especially the ones looking for a reason not to shoplift in the first place.
So the good news is that while youthful shoplifters seem to be everywhere, they are relatively easy to prevent. With a few simple anti shoplifting tools a retailer can protect their assets from teens. If a retailer depends on Checkpoint Security Systems retail anti theft devices to protect his merchandise he will have far fewer problems than one who doesn’t.
