Study: Major Retailers Misperceive Shrink

....In addition to these findings, the 20-question study also looked at other issues, including the use of loss prevention technologies. While all respondents said their organizations have digital recording systems, just over one-fifth (21.4 percent) of these respondents say in-store personnel monitor CCTV cameras continuously. More than one-fifth (21.4 percent) of those with CCTV systems say in-store personnel rarely monitor cameras. Importantly, almost two-thirds (65.5%) of respondents think implementing new technology is very important for their companies’ loss prevention endeavors.
The loss prevention survey targeted a sample of 107 major US retailers selected from mass merchants, department stores, pharmacy/drug stores, apparel, grocery and specialty stores (books, auto parts, home technology, and others). The project was conducted by the Loss Prevention Research Council under the direction of Dr. Michael J. Scicchitano, Dr. Tracy L. Johns and Dr. Read Hayes, all researchers associated with the University of Florida.
