Why should a file check be made of a robbery victim?
What will be an ideal response?
Check to see if the person has a history of making crime reports. For instance, certain types of businesses-such as economy gasoline stations and convenience grocery stores-may not conduct even a minimal background investigation of employees. Given the availability of cash and long periods of isolation during the night hours, an untrustworthy employee will occasionally pocket cash for personal gain and cover its absence by claiming a robbery was committed. A file check on the complaining witness may suggest such a pattern.
