Abstract
This chapter assesses the costs of retail crime, both unseen and detected. It considers the origins of the joys of shopping and the motivations of offenders. Concerns about shoplifting started as early as the early seventeenth century. Shopping is a fiercely contested area. Retail crime today is so considerable because retailing provides many opportunities for theft, low skill is needed, the risks are low and there is a large supply of potential offenders.KeywordsOxford English DictionaryPayment CardOnline RetailerLoss PreventionDaily MailThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
