Generation Thief

Unsupervised juvenile shoppers sometimes require their own stop 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 RF security 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 RF labels and RF security tags.  Simply place Checkpoint security tags or Checkpoint labels on the merchandise you are having theft problems with and they will stop shoplifting almost 100% of the time. RF security tags and any RF label are virtually impossible to remove (use RF security labels with genuine Checkpoint equipment, not a cheap knockoff that can be easily defeated) by a potential shoplifter.  RF security tags and RF 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, such as RF security labels, a retailer can protect their assets from teens. If a retailer depends on Checkpoint Security Systems to protect his merchandise he will have far fewer problems than one who doesn’t.
