Retail Loss Prevention In Retail Outlets: How to identify causes of loss, design out loss and prevent loss in retail outlets

Retail loss prevention and profit protection isn't just about theft from retail stores. There are thousands of ways that assets can be lost from a retail business, normally falling into three categories; theft, waste or negligence. All impact negatively on an organisation's bottom line and can come from internal or external activity.
Retail Loss Prevention in Retail Outlets concentrates on loss prevention techniques within and around retail outlets of all descriptions This book, the third in the Retail Loss Prevention series, will give the reader ideas on how to identify causes of loss, design out loss and prevent loss in retail outlets. The book examines all areas of a retail outlet including the shop floor, cash areas, staff areas, stockrooms, back door and back yard. Case studies are included throughout the book to explain key points and concepts. Readers will easily be able to identify where most retail losses occur around their retail outlets and implement strategies to reduce those losses. Cost-effectiveness of the loss prevention effort within your retail outlet is emphasised throughout the book. After all, it's of no benefit to save assets in one area if you are going to waste them on ineffective or non-essential security measures.
The book is written in an easy to follow style for readers of all levels of retail security experience. It is especially useful for retail managers who, although not security managers, are required to develop loss prevention and profit protection strategies for their locations. It assumes no prior knowledge and would act as a guide to anyone with responsibility for designing loss out of a retail business. Carry the book with you on your e-reader and easily move to different sections of the book as you conduct your risk assessments or security surveys. Use the book to make your own checklists and save hours of time having to think about what you should be looking for.
