Chris Noice, Communications Director at the Association of Convenience Stores, joins Natalie to discuss Britain's shoplifting epidemic. They explore: The scale of the problem and factors driving the growing wave of shoplifting. What motivates shoplifters and is it a victimless crime? Cops in shops – will we see more retailers and shopping centres collaborate with the police for in-store police stations? From equipping staff with body cams to hiring undercover security guards – what more can retailers do to deter theft? Retail staff abuse and the issue of under-reporting. The rise of middle class shoplifting and how automation is exacerbating the problem. Will retailers see more TikTok-inspired mass shoplifting rampages? How can the government take action to curb the rise in shoplifting? Links: Chris on LinkedIn Chris on Twitter/X ACS - the voice of local shops NBK Retail
