About this title

Synopsis

EXTERNAL THEFT--store shortages resulting from "outside" factors (that is, shortages caused by other than store employees)--is the first of a three-volume series on total security control by the noted expert, Bob Curtis. Subsequent volumes will deal with Internal (employee) Theft and Security Administration.Security specialists estimate that external theft accounts for from 25 to 50 percent of store shortages. In this first book, Bob Curtis analyzes the five major types or causes of external shoplifting, bad checks and credit fraud, robbery, burglary, and riots.The motivations and methods of the culprits committing these profit-draining crimes are carefully examined. Then, Mr. Curtis clearly details the steps that can be taken to discourage such thieves, render their methods unsuccessful, prevent their escape, trace their identities and, if necessary, obtain their confessions. At the same time, the legal limitations and liabilities of store employees in apprehending such intruders are stressed.Th equipment and procedures recommended to strengthen vulnerable areas are based on Mr. Curtis' first hand experiences in working with clients in all types of retail outlets. They are tried and proven methods for safeguarding a company's assets and assuring employees' safety.This book will be invaluable not only as a basic security guide and text, but also as a constant reference tool for all those who are affected by the pervasive problem of security control.
