This is the second book in the Crime at Work series. It builds on the success of Volume 1 and focuses on the scale and patterns of crime and the impact that it has on different businesses. The book suggests ways in which organisations can improve security, target resources, and evaluate offences. This book contains a wealth of information which is of essential reading for all those involved with crime prevention, crime risk management and evaluating the effectiveness of various security measures. Papers are written by key academics and practitioners in the field of security management and crime prevention. Topics covered include: drug dealing in pubs and clubs, the craft of the long-firm fraudster, the corruption of data, counterfeiting, why robbers return to the crime scene, commercial areas at high risk of becoming victims, employee theft and collusion with customers, deaths at work, the behaviour of shop thieves, the balance between sales and security, the merits of contract security in commercial policing and others. Each paper includes lessons which are useful for both practitioners and theorists, and the editor offers a new set of techniques for 'situational crime prevention'. Responding effectively to crime is dependent on understanding the causes, athe behaviour patterns of offenders, and the limits of different enforcement styles and approaches. This book tackles these issues in the context of the workplace, the locale of much crime and little research.
