Security organizations within retail operations often differ in their approaches to loss prevention

Some focus most protection resources toward externally motivated crime prevention (e.g., shoplifting) while others emphasize internal theft prevention. Is one approach better than the other?


It depends. Studies illustrate that most losses in retail establishments are due to internal theft. If one conducts a comprehensive risk assessment, security resources should be distributed in a manner that mitigates losses from internal as well as external sources.
