The Retailer's Guide to Loss Prevention and Security by Donald J. Horan Pdf

The Retailer's Guide to Loss Prevention and Security is an introduction to retail security. It covers the basic principles, the various techniques and technologies available, and the retailer's interaction with the police, courts, and the law. Donald J. Horan, President of Loss Control Concepts, Ltd., lends to this book his vast experience in the retail business and as a loss control consultant. Designated a Certified Protection Professional by the American Society for Industrial Security, he is also a member of the International Association of Professional Security Consultants (IAPSC). He has directed and managed retail loss prevention programs all over the U.S. for major department stores and specialty chains, and has provided his expertise to a host of client companies during his tenure with the National Loss Prevention Bureau. Donald Horan's practical experience fills this book with all the tips, strategies, and procedures you need to create an effective loss prevention program. Owners, managers, and security managers of small and medium-sized retail operations; security agencies; individuals, institutions, and companies that give seminars on the topic; and personnel in law enforcement and forensics will find this an essential text. It will be extremely helpful to senior corporate executives to whom the loss prevention/security function reports, because it is their responsibility to determine whether loss prevention practices conform to the long-term goals of the company. Growing retail businesses and those contemplating future acquisitions for expansion will find the work invaluable. The same can be said for turn-around ventures or downsized businesses emerging from reorganization. The book would also be easily adaptable for use in undergraduate courses in an accredited criminal justice or retail management program.

Effective Retail Security by Denny Van Maanenberg Pdf

Effective Retail Security addresses the needs of both the student and the retail markets by being written in an accessible style outlining the dangers of retail loss, the opportunities and psychology that encourage it, and the strategies for eliminating it. While retail loss, or shrinkage as it is commonly referred to, can be a major contributor to the erosion of the profitability of any business, there is much ignorance within even the retail industry about the extent of the problem and how to overcome it. The psychology behind much theft and shoplifting can be simple, and there are many simple strategies which even the small retailer can implement to significantly reduce the opportunity for much stock loss. Besides being of concern to the small retailer, these issues are addressed within various tertiary courses in retail, stock management, and retail operations. The author has included a number of cartoons to keep the tone light, but the text is to the point and full of relevant, applied advice and strategies. The applied nature of much of the advice will be of value particularly to the small (and larger) retailer, while the readily understood nature of the writing will be useful to students of retailing who in many cases will be school graduates lacking relevant work experience to provide a context for their studies. written in an accessible style extensive use of cartoons to illustrate crucial points addresses the needs of the student and the retail market

Retail Security and Loss Prevention Solutions by Alan Greggo,Millie Kresevich Pdf

Employee theft amounts to roughly $36.6 billion retail dollars lost annually, according to a 2008 National Retail Security Survey, and accounts for approximately 42.7 % of all retail losses. Each year organizations spend millions of dollars on theft detection/prevention devices yet still incur losses at the hands of their own employees; begging the question not of how theft occurs, but why. Discussing the concept of the Theft Triangle (opportunity, motivation, and insufficient deterrents), Retail Security and Loss Prevention Solutions investigates motivational factors that contribute to loss and describes philosophies that can change the entire spectrum of employee dishonesty. It cites the revolutionary approach adopted by the New York Subway System, demonstrating that by changing the overall presentation of the business and contending with the factors preceding the crime, the crime itself can be avoided. As the title "Loss Prevention Professional" implies, the intention is to stop the damage before it occurs. To this end, chapters discuss behaviors that precede a loss event, theoretical perspectives and research on employee deviance and motivation, and methods to control employee dishonesty through deterrents as well as ethical infrastructures. Detailing the intricacies of the Loss Prevention Profession and the myriad skills involved such as accounting, forensics, fraud detection, human behavior analysis, and interview/interrogation skills, the authors give advice on how to select the right individuals for the job and how to build a Loss Prevention department. They employ real life case studies and interviews and discuss the problems and solutions for the future of loss prevention as a whole.
