Shoplifting: Menace on the High Street
The 麻豆社 investigates England's shoplifting crisis, exposing the impact on retailers and asking whether policing and technology can turn the tide
Shoplifting is plaguing England's high streets. Clodagh Stenson investigates the impact on shop owners and the staff on the shop floor. Shocking CCTV footage reveals just how brazen and at times, aggressive offenders have become. The 麻豆社 also examines a growing threat, as organised criminal gangs increasingly target retailers for profit, turning shoplifting into a lucrative resale enterprise. As retailers invest in advanced CCTV and facial recognition technology, can innovation help turn the tide? Or will a renewed policing response succeed in tackling England's shoplifting epidemic?
