The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact


Lawmakers Continue Retail Crime Crackdown Efforts at Local & Federal Levels
At a Local Home Depot, Nevada Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, Sparks City Attorney to Discuss Efforts to Crack Down on Retail Crime
U.S. Senator Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.) joined Wes Duncan, Sparks City Attorney, and local Home Depot employees to highlight local and federal efforts to crack down on retail crime. City Attorney Duncan discussed Sparks' "Back our Businesses" initiative to combat retail theft, while Cortez Masto highlighted efforts she is leading on a federal level to deliver more funding to local law enforcement and pass legislation to go after large-scale criminal schemes driving an uptick in retail crime nationally.

Cortez Masto's bipartisan, bicameral Combating Organized Retail Crime Act creates new tools to tackle evolving trends and establishes a new task force within the Department of Homeland Security to better coordinate a whole-of-government and industry response to protect retailers and workers across the country. Organized retail crime costs retailers hundreds of thousands of dollars each year.

"The City of Sparks is doing great work with local law enforcement to crack down on retail crime, and it is my job to get them the resources and support they need on a federal level," said Senator Cortez Masto. "Solving retail crime is a complex issue, and it requires coordination at all levels of government and all levels of law enforcement. That's why I'm continuing to champion legislation on Congress to help connect the dots on organized retail crime, reach across state lines, and hold more bad actors accountable."

"We are pleased to continue the conversation with Senator Cortez Masto and City Attorney Wes Duncan on proactive ways to reduce organized retail crime," said Scott Glenn, Vice President of Asset Protection for The Home Depot. "The safety of our customers and associates is our top priority, and the Back our Business Initiative here in Sparks and the Combatting Organized Retail Crime Act at the federal level are common sense solutions to help dismantle these brazen criminal networks."  cortezmasto.senate.gov

Organized Criminals Fueling Shoplifting & Violence in the UK
The cost of crime prevention and security in some businesses meant they were "simply no longer viable" and so some had been forced to permanently close

Huge rise in retail crime driven by gangs, not stealing to survive, says Co-op

Organised criminals have even used wheelie bins to clear shelves, executive from grocery chain tells peers

Organised criminals are behind the recent rise in shoplifting and violence against shop workers rather than people stealing to survive, one of the UK's largest grocery chains has told a parliamentary inquiry.

Paul Gerrard, the public affairs director at the Co-op, told the House of Lords justice and home affairs committee into shoplifting that a 44% rise in retail crime it experienced last year was mostly down to gangs stealing to order at scale - clearing shelves in some cases.

He added that the retailer, which has more than 2,000 stores across the UK, had been forced to help staff move home as they had been followed from a store and threatened.

Retailers have said the number of incidents of racial abuse, sexual harassment, physical assaults and threats with weapons rose 50% last year, while thefts more than doubled to 16.7m incidents, according to the British Retail Consortium.

Prof Emmeline Taylor of the University of London told the inquiry there had been a "tsunami" of retail crime, partly driven by wider social problems including poverty, mental health issues and drug addiction.

She said the recategorisation of the theft of items worth less than £200 as a summary offence in the 2014 Antisocial Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act - intended to ease prosecution - had led to many police forces no longer taking action against shoplifting below that level.

Taylor said the resulting cost of crime prevention and security in some businesses meant they were "simply no longer viable" and so some had been forced to permanently close, leaving some areas like "food deserts".

Operation Pegasus, under which 15 large retailers are working with the police, partly by sharing CCTV images, to help tackle organised retail crime, was having some success but was set up only to deal with activity that crossed police boundaries, Taylor said.

She said there could be prolific local offenders who were part of a criminal network in their community who were falling through the net. theguardian.com


Retailers Turn to Tech & AI -- and the Government -- to Fight Theft Surge
Securing the storefront: How companies are tackling increasing retail theft

Solutions to this problem include creative uses of technology, legislation, and partnerships with law enforcement.

Many retailers are coming up with creative, cost-effective ways to efficiently prevent retail theft. For example, one of TJX's several new anti-theft measures to mitigate retail theft, includes having some employees wear body cameras similar to those police wear. Taking another approach, it was reported in June that Target has lowered the threshold for employees to step in and prevent shoplifting from $100 to $50, in an attempt to stop retail crime.

Other companies are turning to AI. In the past year, the use of AI and technology in this sector has expanded dramatically. A French company, Veesion, offers AI software that can be incorporated into many existing camera systems in retail stores. This technology detects suspicious body activity in real time, allowing retailers to confront shoplifters with real-time proof. As of December 2023, Veesion reports use in over 350 stores across the United States.

Beyond looking to mitigate issues at individual locations, it is clear that the industry is concerned about this trend overall. In the past year, many states have attempted to introduce legislation to combat the rise in retail theft. California and Ohio, among other states, have active bills in their legislature to combat retail theft, while Florida and Vermont have signed new public safety laws into effect in 2024 with an eye toward retail theft.

We are also seeing retailers working together with local law enforcement to open a dialogue about retail theft. For example, in March, the Retail Industry Leaders Association paired with the National District Attorneys Association for "National Store Walk Month", which has led to local district attorneys meeting with local retailers to discuss the impacts of retail theft, and to work towards solutions.  nerej.com

 
The Challenging Fight Against Retail Fraud
Not all consumers are the same: Adopting a nuanced approach against retail fraud

The challenge for retailers is that retail fraud continues to get more sophisticated, especially when it comes to returns, making it harder to identify.

While there are blatant cases of loss, like a shoplifter entering a store and openly stealing merchandise, many cases like returns fraud can be more subtle. In nuanced situations like returns fraud, retailers need to approach each case with surgical precision, relying on data and not emotion, so as not to offend loyal shoppers by blanketly denying a return.

The challenge for retailers is that retail fraud continues to get more sophisticated, especially when it comes to returns, making it harder to identify. To protect the retail experience, and strike a balance in how they address shoppers making a return, retailers need to implement a more personalized, nuanced approach to how they fight retail abuse and reduce losses overall.

Returns policies that address the good, the bad, and the mixed behavior

Appriss Retail conducted internal research of 20 large retailers to study differing consumer behaviors around product returns and retailer channels and found:

Three-quarters of consumers who return a high number of products are doing so honestly at every retailer they encounter.

On the flipside, 17% of consumers consistently demonstrate returns behavior that leads to retail loss wherever they shop.

Then, it gets nuanced, where 8% of consumers exhibit mixed behavior, showing red-flagged behavior at some retailers but not at every retailer they shop.

AI can cut through mixed behavior:  retailcustomerexperience.com

'Just Walk Out' Tech Expands
Amazon's Just Walk Out technology rolls out to more stadiums and universities-see the full list of new stores

With Amazon's technology expanding to new locations, more people can skip the checkout line.

This fall, more NFL fans and university students will be able to skip the checkout line thanks to Amazon's AI-powered Just Walk Out technology. With NFL teams hosting their Kickoff Games this week, Just Walk Out technology is starting the season with the most new stores to open at NFL stadiums in a single season, including six new stores at Lumen Field in Seattle, seven stores at Commanders Field outside of Washington D.C., and the first store opening at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore.

And just in time for the school year, Just Walk Out technology is coming to even more college campuses this fall, bringing the total to more than 30 university stores powered by Just Walk Out technology worldwide.

Last season, NFL game attendance reached a peak of nearly 19 million fans showing up to support their teams, and they don't want to miss a minute of the action. Long lines for concessions have been a growing complaint of fans who want a speedier and more convenient shopping experience. aboutamazon.com


Nordstrom family group offers $3.8B to go private
Nordstrom family members including CEO Erik Nordstrom and his brother Pete, who is president of the company, have teamed up with Mexican retail company El Puerto de Liverpool to buy the department store for $23 per share or $3.8 billion in cash.

The deal would be financed "through a combination of rollover equity and cash commitments by members of the Nordstrom family and Liverpool and $250 million in new bank financing." Existing debt would remain outstanding, per a company press release.

A special committee of the board, established earlier this year when the Nordstroms indicated their interest in potentially making an offer, is reviewing the proposal and had no further comment retaildive.com

Data Breaches: 'Goldmine for Cybercriminals'
Intellicheck CEO Warns: Every Data Breach Is a Step Closer to Someone Else Stealing Your Life

In the wrong hands, digital footprints can turn into a blueprint for fraud.

Particularly as identity theft proliferates and becomes more sophisticated, data breaches are increasingly turning personal and business information into a goldmine for cybercriminals looking for their next payday.

"We are at about four times the level of data that has been breached this year to date compared to last year," Intellicheck CEO Bryan Lewis told PYMNTS' CEO Karen Webster. "So, it is definitely a problem."

Every data breach is a step closer to someone else living your life. As cybercriminals ramp up their own attacks and tactics, technology must evolve to stay ahead of new attack vectors and fraud techniques, something typically easier said than done. Data breaches are not just becoming more frequent; they are also compromising vast amounts of sensitive information, including personal identification details that can easily be exploited for identity theft.

"If you go to these sites where you can now go steal somebody's identity, you can plug in everything right down to a driver's license number," explained Lewis, stressing that identity theft is no longer just a concern for financial institutions; it has permeated all aspects of daily life.

A particularly concerning case is the National Public Data breach, where 2.9 billion records were compromised. The breach is especially worrying because the organization specializes in background checks, meaning the stolen data includes not just Social Security numbers, but also employment histories, addresses, alias names and other personal details that can be used to create a complete and convincing identity profile, Lewis said.

The implications of such breaches are far-reaching, in large part because the sheer volume of new data being added to criminal repositories on the dark web only serves to lower the cost of purchasing stolen identities, making identity theft more accessible to criminals. pymnts.com


Is Cybersecurity a 'Weak Spot' for Retailers?
Retailers report issues in cybersecurity, supply chain

A new survey reveals weak spots in the retail enterprise.

According to the "2024 Futures Report: Cyber Resilience in Retail" from managed network security services provider LevelBlue, 37% of surveyed C-suite and senior retail executives integrate cybersecurity into their computing planning or have a cybersecurity budget line item for every project.

In addition, three in four (74%) respondents said that cybersecurity resilience initiatives are not sufficiently factored into the organization's budget, and 74% also said that it's impossible for them to assess how an attack might impact their organization.

More than seven in 10 (72%) respondents believe cybersecurity is an afterthought and two in three (67%) said efforts are often siloed, hindering comprehensive protection. Roughly two in three (65%) lack formalized incident response plans, and 62% do not have standardized cybersecurity processes.

Eight in 10 respondents said their organizations are at risk due to barriers impacting their cybersecurity resilience strategies, and 78% report struggling to find the external guidance they need.

However, 74% said their lack of visibility is compounded by new regulations. More than six in 10 (62%) respondents report being a cautious or late AI adopter. chainstoreage.com

 
Continuous Threat Exposure Management
Managing low-code/no-code security risks
Continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) - a concept introduced by Gartner - monitors cybersecurity threats continuously rather than intermittently. This five-stage framework (scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation, and mobilization) allows organizations to constantly assess and manage their security posture, reduce exposure to threats, and integrate risk management into a continuous assessment and action loop.

A prime candidate for inclusion under the CTEM umbrella is software created in low-code/ no-code (LCNC) and robotic process automation (RPA) environments.

With easy-to-use interfaces aided by generative AI, LCNC development platforms have expanded attack surfaces in most organizations, often beyond the visibility of security staff. That's because they allow any employee - i.e., "citizen developer" - to create and deploy apps or RPAs for automating business processes such as data integration, form automation, custom reporting, and more.

This "shadow engineering" has been embraced by management- 64% of CIOs say they have or will deploy LCNC technology within two years-but it complicates cyber risk management by allowing code to slip into the network unchecked, including potentially dangerous software vulnerabilities. helpnetsecurity.com

Online Shopping & Fraud Concerns
Shoppers' online fraud fears escalate

Four in five consumers are worried about identity theft or someone stealing their credit card numbers, according to an August report from the credit monitoring agency Experian.

Identity theft is the top concern of consumers who are shopping online. The credit monitoring company Experian polled 2,000 consumers and found that 84% said they worry about identity theft, a 20 percentage point increase from a 2023 survey, according to an Aug. 21 report on the results.

The number of consumers who worry their credit card information will be stolen also spiked between 2024 and 2023. The poll showed that 80% of consumers said they worry about bad actors acquiring their card information, a jump of 19 percentage points compared to the survey conducted in 2023.

An emerging technology, generative AI, was a top concern among the 700 businesses Experian polled, with 71% saying they are worried about criminals using artificial intelligence to commit fraud.

The shift mirrors a surge in losses to fraudulent credit card transactions. Consumers lost $10 billion to fraud in 2023, a 14% increase from the previous year and the highest dollar amount the agency ever recorded.

Older respondents worried more about losing their credit card information to thieves and hackers, Experian's survey found. Of respondents aged 55 to 69, 86% of them said they were concerned about someone stealing their credit card information, compared with 71% of respondents between the ages of 25 and 39.

Experian did not ask why consumers were afraid of bad actors stealing their credit card information, making the underlying reasons behind the increase difficult to ascertain.  retaildive.com


Amazon Still Can't Catch Up to Walmart on Grocery
Walmart Holds Grocery Lead Over Amazon Despite Overall Share Declines

As retail giants Amazon and Walmart compete for consumers' shopping spend, Walmart is losing ground in some key categories, with its grocery share remaining strong.

Walmart's grocery business continues to top Amazon's several times over. In Q2, the superstore company captured a 20.2% share of consumer spend in the food and beverage category. Amazon, meanwhile, captured 2.7%. Moreover, Walmart has grown its share slightly in recent years. It increased from 19.8% one year prior and 18.4% five years earlier in 2019.

Amazon's food and beverage business has grown since 2019. Yet it has remained roughly stagnant in the last year. In Q2 2024, Amazon captured a 50% greater share of spend in the category than in 2019. However, its share of captured spending held roughly flat compared to the 2.6% share the company captured in Q2 2023. pymnts.com

Being engaged in the business of your retailer is a critical element for every Loss Prevention executive. For decades, our industry has often been accused of being silo'ed and separate from the operators and the merchants. This separateness in many cases ultimately leads to a disconnect, a sense that we aren't part of the team. Which in actuality, regardless of your performance, it can lead to your job being eliminated or just you being replaced with someone new. So the real question is: How do you become engaged in the business and truly add value to the company's success beyond reducing shrink? And then having the courage to go make it happen. We all tend to stay in our comfort zones and remain safe. At least that's what we think. But at the end of the day, it's that comfort zone that can actually increase your risk. So the next time you're in a corporate meeting or traveling stores with your operators or merchants, go beyond with your comments and opinions - take a risk - add some value - help them run the business - you might be surprised.
