Describe security methods undertaken to apprehend shoplifters

What will be an ideal response?


Some retail businesses employ the use of electronic article surveillance (EAS). EAS are tags that are placed on merchandise, which are not removed until the item is purchased. If a shoplifter attempts to leave the store while the EAS tag is still in tact, an alarm will be activated at the exit way. Another security method involves the use of ink tags. If an article of clothing in removed from the store an ink tag will be activated, thus staining the clothes and rendering them useless. Research suggests these two methods have served to reduce shoplifting.
