One in Three – Anti Shoplifting

I recently read an article that said approximately one in three shoplifters will steal again. It is very surprising that so many shoplifters will continue their path of theft even after an apprehension. It makes for an interesting perspective on the tools we use for anti-shoplifting.

After reading this article, I came to realize that it is not simply a matter of using something like Checkpoint systems to alert you and your employees to potential shoplifters in your store. It is really about making your store less than desirable for a shoplifter to even enter your store. The ideal is to stop shoplifting completely before it begins. Making the shoplifters go away from your store instead of victimizing it.

Anti-shoplifting tools are about prevention, more specifically, it is about prevention once a shoplifter enters your store. If you can, try to take those tools another step further. Put signs on your doors saying shoplifters will be prosecuted.  For example, how about having a sign that says you monitor the premises through electronic and remote surveillance? That would help further the impression that the store is monitored by someone who may or may not be visible in the store.
