What's in the Mind of a Retail Shoplifter? How do we Scientifically Change it?
By
Tony D'Onofrio, Global Retail Influencer
The Loss Prevention Research Council (LPRC) is made up of over
70 retailers (approx. 200,000 stores / $2 Trillion in sales) and 75 solutions
partners collaborating to develop effective loss and crime control solutions
through science backed extensive research. To date the group has conducted over
300 real world loss prevention research projects for retailers and partners.
Recently, I had the pleasure of attending the launch of "LPRC Innovate" program
at the University of Florida. This new working group was stood up to provide
cutting edge people, places, processes to support major retailers and solutions
partners as they ideate, simulate, and test new digital, people, and design
options.
 Self-Checkout
Theft Offender Interview Study
The LPRC collected data from 24 shoplifting offenders after the installations of
small PVMs at the self-checkout kiosks, large PVMs above the self-checkout area,
in-aisle PVMs in the seafood, liquor, and health and beauty areas, and the
pushout prevention cart containment system. This research focused on determining
the noticeability of the LP measures, offender perceptions, and how these
measures affect offenders' decisions of whether to steal from the store.
Organized Retail Crime (ORC) and the Opioid Crisis
A total of 18 in-depth surveys were conducted with offenders who reported having
an opioid-abuse issue. A few of the findings from this study:
-
Less than half (44%) of the offenders
interviewed said they could not have been deterred the first time.
-
44% of the offenders we interviewed said that
if an employee paid attention to them while they were committing theft, it
would deter them.
-
44% of the offenders we interviewed said that
they had engaged in violence during a theft attempt.
How do we Scientifically Change it?
The LPRC conducts research to develop crime and loss prevention solutions that
improves the performance of its members and the retail industry. Through
innovation and collaboration, scientific driven deterrence is increased by
ensuring offenders see it, get it, and fear it.

Have You Been 'Ghosted'? Your Industry Might Be
Part of the Problem
Job candidates who had a great interview but don't respond to the employer's
calls, texts and e-mails about an offer; new hires who never report to work; or
employees who walk off the job without a word-these are people who drive HR
professionals and hiring managers crazy.
No one likes to be "ghosted," which is more prevalent in certain industries,
according to The
Knowledge Academy, a provider of training courses. The findings are based on
a survey the organization conducted between March and May 2019 with 1,325
full-time U.S. workers.
In a robust economy with unemployment at a historic low, job candidates have
adopted behavior that has become
commonplace on online dating sites. They're juggling multiple job offers or
jumping to another position after accepting an offer. Retail is the third
most prevalent industry.

Workplace Secrets: Bullying
The psychological and physical traumas of workplace bullying are
undeniable
How prevalent is workplace bullying? According to a 2017 WBI U.S. Workforce
Bullying survey, on average, 60.3 million U.S. workers have been affected by
workplace bullying in some form. More than 14.5 million workers are experiencing
workplace bullying at this moment, and more than 15 million have experienced it
in the past. 
Only a few states have introduced legislation against bullying. Thirty U.S.
states and two territories have filed variations of The Healthy Workplace Bill (HWB),
but have not enacted into law in its complete anatomy.
How does workplace bullying affect enterprise security, and what do you need to
know about it?
There are several academic studies that support that victims can get PTSD from
being bullied at work," says Mattice-Zundel. The psychological traumas do not
stop there. "There is evidence that people who are bullied consider suicide,"
she says. Bullying can also have physical damage and often "the stress
translates to many medical issues, such as not sleeping, stomach issues, heart
disease and many other visible diseases."
1. Aggressive communication, which can encompass yelling, sending angry,
humiliating and "nasty" emails and getting in someone's personal space.
2. Humiliation: pointing out mistakes in public, isolating people (in meeting or
other events) and playing jokes on them.
3. Manipulation: giving someone an extensive amount of workload that is
impossible to achieve in the time frame given, punitively punishing employees
and claiming that they have poor job performance.

Sensormatic Solutions
- Connecting All the Tech
Traffic - RFID - SMaaS
In
the Store: Retail Innovation with a Purpose
 By
Kim Warne, Vice President & CMO, Sensormatic Solutions
There has never been a time when technology has been more critical to
retail performance than it is today. Technology is enabling omnichannel
strategies, providing supply chain visibility and changing how retailers connect
with consumers through social media and other digital channels.
While online and mobile are still integral components in the modern consumer's
shopping journey, a majority of retail capital investments are now being
allocated to store networks. Making smart technology investments can deliver
tremendous value to retail stores, to optimize staffing, increase inventory
turns, enable secure frictionless transactions, and to empower store associates
to become effective brand ambassadors. To achieve strong store performance now
and in the future, retailers must operate seamlessly and efficiently while
delivering unique, differentiated brand experiences. The right technology
investments can help retailers reach both of these goals simultaneously.
Leveraging your investment: new insights through connectivity
 Insights into
store traffic patterns
are key to understanding the path to
purchase and conversion. Smart loss prevention solutions
deliver real-time
insights to help retailers make effective data-driven decisions that may
positively impact shrink and bottom line results. Inventory intelligence
solutions
help retailers gain item-level visibility into accurate and timely
inventory across the enterprise. Combining data across these solutions can
create even more value as the adoption of data analytics and smart, connected
devices can provide retailers a more holistic, precise view of their business.
With a consolidated view, retailers can better
understand peak shopping hours
and combine those insights with inventory visibility
to identify when shelves may need to be restocked. This holistic approach
can also help align staffing decisions with times where there is an increase in
sales and conversion, along with the potential loss events due to heavy foot
traffic. When different business areas work in tandem with each another,
retailers can better ensure that the shopper who was looking for the red blouse
not only finds the blouse faster than before, but also that the experience
builds loyalty for repeat visits.

Cybercriminals Target Budding Cannabis Retailers
Companies in the young, rapidly growing industry are targeted for sensitive
information they store and immature security practices.
As more US states legalize recreational marijuana, security experts warn lawful
cannabis retailers of their vulnerabilities to cyberattacks targeting consumer
and patient information.
Thirty-four states sell marijuana for medicinal purposes; in January 2020,
Illinois will become the eleventh to sell cannabis via state-licensed
dispensaries. As Matthew Dunn, associate managing director for cyber risk at
Kroll, says, "legitimate cannabis enterprises have all the responsibilities of a
traditional business." This means being aware of exposure to cybercrime.
"While they share with all retailers the duty to protect customer data and
financial records, cannabis businesses must acknowledge a heightened state of
sensitivity around privacy issues," he
writes. Dunn argues dispensaries face greater risk due to the controversial
product they sell; as a result, it's "imperative" they develop a mature
cybersecurity strategy to mitigate risk.
 The threat is greater for medicinal marijuana dispensaries, which store
protected health information (PHI) records that are considered more valuable to
attackers than typical PII due to the extent of health data they contain.
Medicinal dispensaries aren't covered under HIPAA, which would limit how they
use patient data, but they still must comply with state privacy laws.
What should cannabis retailers watch for? Dunn points to the danger of
email-based attacks, which affect retailers across industries but may prove
especially prevalent among cannabis companies with relatively new workforces.
Cyber extortion is another threat: criminals who access a dispensary's client
database could attempt to extort high-profile customers, he adds.

Marriott Faces $124 Million GDPR Fine in UK
The Information Commissioner's Office (ICO) of the UK said it intends to fine
Marriott International £99,200,396, or approximately US$124,000,495, for General
Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) violations.
The proposed fine, in response to the massive
Starwood Hotels data breach that affected more than 500 million guests
around the world, comes on the heels of a record £183 million (US$229 million)
fine
levied against British Airways for a breach of payment information of more
than a half-million customers.
According to the ICO, Marriott has cooperated with the investigation and will
now have a chance to present information to the Office regarding the potential
fine. After hearing from Marriott and other interested parties, the ICO will
decide on the final amount of the fine.

NIST releases draft AI standards plan
The National Institute of Science and Technology has released a
draft of its plan for developing federal artificial intelligence standards,
which could govern a range of technologies relating to AI, including biometric
facial recognition.
NIST published its draft of "U.S. Leadership in AI: A Plan for Federal
Engagement in Developing Technical Standards and Related Tools" for public
comment, which it will accept up until July 19. The final version will be
delivered to the White House on August 10,
VentureBeat reports, to satisfy an executive order mandating the creation of
a
federal AI engagement plan within 180 days. The plan involves including a
diverse community of stakeholders, such as users, developers, vendors, and
experts from technical disciplines and non technical disciplines like ethics,
economics, law, and public policy.

Privacy and Security: Current Challenges and Best
Practices
When it comes to privacy and security, new challenges and risks are constantly
exploding onto the scene. Here's what our expert roundup designates as the key
issues and best practices of 2019.
New Technology
People are increasingly bringing their IoT devices-everything from Fitbits to
Alexa devices-into the workplace, often without telling security staff, notes
Rebecca Herold, CEO and founder of The Privacy Professor consultancy and a 3M
privacy consultant. "These IoT devices are collecting data and sharing it in
cloud locations and you have no idea how they're being secured or what's being
shared," she says.
GDPR
Last year's arrival of the EU's General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has
created new challenges for enterprises who are subject to it, says Andrew
Shaxted, senior director of information governance, privacy and security
practice at FTI Consulting. GDPR mandates that organizations in certain
circumstances have a data protection officer (DPO) to spearhead compliance, but
employing a DPO can be difficult and costly. "It's almost a unicorn of a role,"
Shaxted says. "You need somebody with the chops of a lawyer, some computer
science knowledge, an ability to coordinate large organizational change,
awareness and education in the workforce and an ability to talk to regulators
too."

Customer data breach concerns to pose risk to
ecommerce future
Customer data breach concerns are set to pose a risk to ecommerce future,
hindering sellers' attempts to personalise the customer experience.
Sellers are eagerly adopting new technologies to leverage new opportunities.
However, new risks are emerging. Consumers are increasingly conscious of the
need to protect personal data and their privacy to reduce the risk of fraud,
identity theft and misuse of their data. They also expect companies to be
transparent about the data they hold on them, what they use it for and how it is
protected.
Gaining and maintaining consumer trust is critical for merchants who house
millions of digital profiles. Trust is an intangible asset, but if lost, result
in very concrete impacts.
According to The Digital Tipping Point report by RetailEconomics shoppers have
reacted, editing privacy setting on their accounts and/or mobile phones. More
than a quarter of respondents have taken some action to limit the amount of data
shared with companies, reaching almost a third for 16-24-year-olds.
Consumers also felt that the perceived benefit from the exchange of their
personal data was not equitable. Two-thirds of consumers think that businesses
benefited more than consumers. Just 8% of respondents thought that consumers
benefited the most with 26% saying that there was an equal exchange of value.

Lawsuit ruling over dog leash purchased on Amazon
could greatly impact
third-party seller business
A lawsuit brought by a woman who was blinded by a retractable dog leash she
bought on Amazon could have far-reaching implications for the sale of
third-party items on the tech giant's website.
The 3rd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia ruled 2-1 last week
against Amazon as it reinstated a product liability lawsuit first brought by
Heather Oberdorf in 2016.
A third-party vendor called The Furry Gang shipped the leash to Oberdorf from
Nevada, but no representative of that company has been located. Amazon has
argued that it is protected under the 1996
Communications Decency Act. But the Appeals court ruled that those
protections do not apply in this case.
More than half of Amazon's total unit sales come from third-party sellers.
Inc.'s Jason Aten said the ruling could mean the company "is on the hook
in a big way for defective or counterfeit products sold through its marketplace,
even though it didn't sell them." That distinction could lead to a dramatic
change in terms of the seller's agreement, Aten wrote.

Leader of Gift Card Fraud Ring Hitting Target
Stores for $700,000 Gets 5 Years
30-year-old man arrested last year in Snohomish County, Washington was sentenced
today in U.S. District Court in Seattle to five years in prison and three years
of supervised release for his scheme to defraud Target and its customers of more
than $700,000.
JEFFERY DOUGLAS MANN, of Marysville, Washington, led a group of five people
who used a system to decipher gift card identifying numbers and used them
across five western states for fraud. U.S. District Judge James L. Robart
ordered MANN to pay more than $214,000 in restitution saying MANN, "is obviously
talented and used that talent to break the law... This is not a victimless crime
-- it impacts real people."
According to records filed in the case, between May 2017 and December 2017, the
ring stole gift card balances worth more than $700,000, and often sold illegally
purchased goods or store gift cards for bitcoin on an internet marketplace. The
co-conspirators used a formula to reverse-engineer and identify unique bar code
numbers of thousands of authentic gift cards sold by Target to legitimate
customers. Members of the scheme then used the retailer's automated customer
service telephone system to verify balances linked to the various stolen gift
card numbers. justice.gov

Gainesville, GA: Suspects arrested in fatal
shooting of Hall County Deputy,
possibly linked to pawn shop robbery
Three people are in custody and a fourth is in the hospital following the fatal
shooting of a Hall County Sheriff's Office deputy late Sunday night. Shortly
after 11 p.m. Sunday, Deputy Nicolas Dixon, 28, was in pursuit of a stolen
vehicle with four suspects inside. The vehicle had allegedly been used in
several burglaries and car break-ins over the weekend.
 The
suspects' car crashed and the four people inside took off running, with deputies
following after them. "Deputy Dixon pursued and located one of the suspects
behind a residence. After refusing to follow Deputy Dixon's verbal commands to
show his hands, the offender disappeared briefly back behind the residence and
then suddenly reappeared and opened fire," said Hall County Sheriff Gerald
Couch. "Deputy Dixon was struck by one round below his ballistic vest as he
returned fire. Other deputies also returned fire and struck the offender."
Investigators later identified the suspect as 17 year-old Hector Garcia-Solis.

When anyone goes for an interview you've got to play to win. You should not
allow: any outside variable, any future promotion thoughts or promises, your
guilt feelings towards your current employer or boss, your preconceived opinions
of the possible future employer, or any miss-step in the process on the part of
the future employer disrupt or impact your performance
All interviews have long range implications on your career. The executives
interviewing you are part of a community and you'll run into them again at
another company. So if you do get involved and go for an interview, commit
yourself all the way and play to win. It doesn't mean you've got to take the
job. It just means you have to perform at 100%.
Just a Thought,
Gus
