A recent British Retail Consortium survey indicates a troubling trend in retail crime in the UK, with nearly a quarter (24%) of the population having witnessed shoplifting in the past year. The survey highlights alarming figures on abuse towards retail staff: 77% of workers experience some form of aggression, while theft costs retailers £4.2bn annually. The crime rates vary by city, with Nottingham witnessing the highest incidence of shoplifting. Retailers are investing heavily in security measures, including personal safety devices and CCTV, contributing to increased prices for consumers.
Nearly 24% of the UK population have witnessed shoplifting in shops, translating to over 16 million people, highlighting a troubling trend in retail crime.
With 20 million theft incidents reported last year and over 2,000 acts of violence daily, retail crime is at an all-time high in the UK.
