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.

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 preventing loss in a retail business. Easily conduct your risk assessments or security surveys.
