The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact

Prop 47 Rollback Measure Getting Historic Support
"When there are no real consequences for crimes ... that’s a real problem."

California crime reform gets 'unheard of' support from DAs, small businesses, progressive mayors
A measure to reform California’s crime referendum that downgrades penalties for petty theft and drug possession will be on the ballot in November after garnering an "unheard of" number of signatures.

The 2014 law in question, Proposition 47, reclassified several felonies, including retail and property theft, as misdemeanors. But a ballot initiative to amend Prop 47, called the Homelessness, Drug Addiction, and Theft Reduction Act, secured over 900,000 citizen signatures required to put the measure to an official vote in November, far surpassing the roughly 500,000 required signatures.

Sacramento County District Attorney Thien Ho, who supported the effort, said in an interview with Fox News Digital that some Golden State residents waited hours in line to sign the petition.

The DA said that while he is in favor of the "spirit" behind Prop 47, the law needs to be changed to stem its "unintended consequences," which he identified as a "fentanyl crisis," a "retail theft crisis" and a "homeless crisis."

Ho noted a big-box retailer in Sacramento told him that the region ranks No. 1 in theft for the company, and that one of their stores in the area saw a 253% increase in theft between 2022 and 2023.

He also said one mom-and-pop convenience store in the area reported that 6 out of 10 of their customers were committing theft.

Two Democratic progressive mayors in two of California’s biggest cities — San Francisco Mayor London Breed and San Jose Mayor Matt Mahan — endorsed the reform campaign earlier this year. Breed, who initially supported Prop 47, said she’s now seeing unintended consequences of the measure as she tries to crack down on illegal drugs and theft in her city, the San Francisco Chronicle reported in February.

"Our goal is not to keep people locked up," she said. "But when there are no real consequences for crimes that are committed in this city, that’s a real problem." yahoo.com

Theft #1 Concern for 70% of Retailers
New Report Reveals How Deeply Retailers are Affected by Theft

Theft was the top concern for 70 percent of brick-and-mortar retailers.

The National Retail Federation reported last December that 85 percent of small businesses said they experienced retail theft at least once a year and that nearly 80 percent of retailers reported that organized retail theft was a higher concern in 2023 than in 2022. Now, a new report by marketing agency NP Digital reveals how deeply retailers across the board are affected by retail theft.

The report found that 70 percent of retailers surveyed said retail theft is a major concern for them in 2024 and have a plan against it; of those retailers, 20 percent were clothing stores and 19 percent were superstores. Only 10 percent of retailers expressed no concern at all.

Identity fraud is on the rise as well, affecting customers so much that they turn away from certain retail brands. A recent survey found that consumers tend to avoid certain retailers and close accounts with those retailers after experiencing identity theft. In addition, a study by Michigan State University found that 70 percent of consumers have been deceived by counterfeit items. invisionmag.com

Using FRT to Curb 'Out-of-Control Violence'
Facial recognition coming to LA transit after passenger fatally stabbed

Officials look to biometrics as a way to curb out-of-control violence

Transit officials in Los Angeles have declared a public safety emergency over the stabbing of a 66-year-old woman in the city’s Metro transit system, and are planning to deploy facial recognition tools to help identify repeat offenders and deter violent crime, according to reports from the Los Angeles Times and Los Angeles Daily News.

Beatings, stabbings and other violent incidents have been rising on L.A.’s public buses and trains, including four attacks in April. The perpetrator of the stabbing attack that killed Mirna Soza Arauz had a prior ban from the transit system for violent altercations. But Metro says its officers had no way of knowing that a dangerous individual was riding the train. Had facial recognition systems been in place, they might have made the match.

Calling Soza Arauz’s death “a shot across the bow,” the Metro board has given unanimous support to a motion asking the CEO to report back in two months on the feasibility of facial recognition deployments on buses and trains.

Facial recognition and other biometric systems have been trialed or installed in transit systems around the world, most often for payments. Deployments in Moscow, Mumbai, Shanghai and Indonesia have differed in scale, modality and approach. For security purposes, Bogota deployed facial recognition software … for real-time surveillance of the city’s TransMilenio system, which resulted in six arrests. And Sao Paolooutfitted its 3-Red subway line with face biometrics and object detection systems that trigger alerts for security operators. biometricupdate.com

Will New York's Theft Crackdown Help Protect Retail Workers?
Assault On Retail Workers In New York Is Now A Felony
Think twice before you decide to assault a retail worker in New York State. We have all seen videos of retail employees being assaulted for various reasons. Putting your hands on a retail worker now could earn you a prison sentence and mess up your life.

In Governor Kathy Hochul's 2024-2025 Fiscal Year Executive Budget, there is a new provision to protect retail workers, who are often the targets of violent crimes. The new law is designed to crack down on organized retail thefts and crimes against those people working in retail. New York State Governor Kathy Hochul said,

Gov. Hochul announced a five-point plan to combat retail crimes:

- Assaulting a retail employee will result in a felony charge.

- Prosecutors can combine the value of stolen goods when filing felony charges against criminals

- Making it illegal to foster the sale of stolen goods. Prosecutors can go after third-party sellers.

- $40.2M for law enforcement and District Attorneys’ offices to go after retail theft criminals.

- $5M in tax credits to help small businesses invest in security measures to fight retail theft.

New York State Police Superintendent Steven G. James said, “We will continue to leverage our law enforcement partnerships to further ongoing efforts to prevent thieves from targeting the hard-working citizens of New York. The State Police is fully engaged on this issue and will not tolerate individuals responsible for stealing millions of dollars in merchandise, victimizing both retailers and the public.” wyrk.com

NY Governor Leading a Progressive 'Course Correction' on Crime Policies?
New York’s top Democrat pushes party toward center amid swing House races
Crafting New York’s $237 billion state budget this year came with a purpose for Gov. Kathy Hochul: Don’t hurt House Democrats in a pivotal election year.

The spending package, approved this month, is an intended course correction for Hochul and her fellow Democrats that focuses on rebutting the two issues Republicans have seized on — the state’s lack of affordability and loosening of criminal justice laws.

The plan is meant to increase new housing to lower costs and crack down on retail crime, as well as take on the proliferation of illegal marijuana stores, particularly in New York City.

The Democratic governor was hellbent on avoiding the same mistakes this year at the insular state Capitol. Over the past two years, Republicans for state and federal races focused on state-level issues — like a controversial cashless bail law and her own ill-fated housing plan that alienated suburbanites. politico.com

Cop Surge Pays Off for the NYC Subway System
NYC subway crime down 6%, led by drops in robberies and assaults: NYPD
Major felonies on the subway system are down 6.4% in the first four months of 2024 after a winter of high-profile subterranean crimes, according to NYPD stats released Monday. The bulk of that reduction is due to a 25% drop in robberies and a 5% decrease in felony assaults from the same Jan. 1 to April 28 period last year.

Murders are up, with four so far this year compared with two homicides committed on subways by this time last year. Misdemeanor petty larcenies, defined as theft of less than $1,000 in value, are up 38% in the subway system.

Grandstaff attributed the results to the city’s decision to put more than 1,000 more cops into the system. nydailynews.com

Tens of Thousands of Store Closures Coming?
Over 45K retail stores may close in next 5 years: UBS

E-commerce penetration is expected to rise, helped in part by third-party players like Temu and Shein, according to a new report.

About 45,000 retail stores may close in the coming years as retail’s physical footprint increasingly shifts to serve as fulfillment and distribution centers, UBS analysts led by Michael Lasser said in an April 22 report. That forecast is based on the premise that online retail penetration rises to 26% from 21% with retail sales growth of 4% by 2028.

Banks’ reluctance to lend, higher operational costs and consumers’ sustained inclination to spend on services instead of goods also drive store closing forecasts.

The U.S. still has too much retail square footage, the UBS analysts said, as third-party players like Temu and Shein are positioned to drive further e-commerce penetration without the overhead of managing and maintaining a physical footprint. The analysts said apparel and accessories, consumer electronics and home furnishing retailers need to shrink their footprints the most.

Several major retailers with noteworthy physical footprints recently announced store closures or have gone out of business altogether. They include Foot Locker, Sally Beauty, Tuesday Morning, Shoe City, and furniture retailers Z Gallerie and Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams. Bed Bath & Beyond also closed stores when it filed for Chapter 11, but lives on as an online-only retailer. retaildive.com

$3.1M 'Made in USA' Settlement
Williams-Sonoma to pay $3.1 million after FTC sued it, saying it falsely labeled products as 'Made in USA'

The FTC requires retailers to be truthful about whether their products are made in the United States.

Williams-Sonoma will pay $3.1 million after settling with the US government over accusations of falsely labeling products manufactured in foreign countries as "Made in USA."

The Federal Trade Commission and the US Department of Justice announced the home essentials company's civil penalty in press releases shared on Friday. According to the FTC and DOJ, Williams-Sonoma violated a 2020 order requiring retailers to be transparent about whether products they sell are made in the US. A July 2021 FTC press release notes that the order was implemented to discourage fraud.

The DOJ filed a complaint against Williams-Sonoma on April 24 following a referral from the FTC. businessinsider.com

Firing Employees for Protesting
Should Google Have Fired Its Protesting Employees?
Google reportedly fired about 50 employees in April for participating in sit-in protests at company offices in a move that pits employee rights and free speech against workplace order and productivity.

The demonstrators opposed a $1.2 billion 2021 Google Cloud contract — known as Project Nimbus — that calls upon Google and Amazon to provide the Israeli government with cloud computing and artificial intelligence services. Protesters claim Google’s services are being used to harm Palestinians.

In a note to employees, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said, “We have a culture of vibrant, open discussion… But ultimately we are a workplace and our policies and expectations are clear: this is a business, and not a place to act in a way that disrupts coworkers or makes them feel unsafe, to attempt to use the company as a personal platform, or to fight over disruptive issues or debate politics.” retailwire.com

"The whole purpose of the iO has been to offer a space for customers and industry professionals to directly interact with our vision as a leading commercial integrator," said Dan Bresingham, Chief Executive Officer.

Offensive AI Fueling 'New Generation of Cyberattacks'
AI is creating a new generation of cyberattacks
Most businesses see offensive AI fast becoming a standard tool for cybercriminals, with 93% of security leaders expecting to face daily AI-driven attacks, according to Netacea.

Offensive AI in cyberattacks

The research, “Cyber security in the age of offensive AI”, surveyed security leaders in the UK and US about their experience with AI as a tool in cybersecurity. It reveals that not only do most security leaders expect daily AI-driven attacks, 65% expect that offensive AI will be the norm for cybercriminals, used in most cyberattacks.

The results suggest that security leaders understand the significance of offensive AI and expect the next six months to issue the dawn of a new generation of cyberattacks.

AI transforms cyber defense and offense

AI will not only be used as a tool to enhance cyberattacks, but in cyber defence, too. While a report from the Office of National Statistics reported that 83% of businesses had no plans to adopt AI, this is not borne out when looking at cybersecurity.

All respondents to Netacea’s survey had incorporated AI into their security stack in some way, and all said that it had improved their security posture, with 27% reporting this improvement was significant. The use of AI is also proving to be efficient, with 61% of security leaders agreeing that AI has significantly decreased their operational overheads.

However, the use of AI-enhanced protection was mostly used to defend against high-impact low-frequency attacks such as DDoS (62%), rather than bot attacks (33%). This suggests that while AI is a welcome defence against cyber threats, it is not yet being applied universally and against the most damaging attacks.

The gaps remain. While 90% of respondents are confident in the defensive AI capabilities of their Web Application Firewall, DDoS protection, and API security, only 60% of security leaders could say the same about their bot management tools. helpnetsecurity.com

Are The Feds Stemming the Tide of Ransomware?
CISA director pushes for vendor accountability and less emphasis on victims’ errors

Stakeholders need to address why vendors are delivering products with common vulnerabilities, which account for the majority of attacks, Jen Easterly said.

The U.S. government and its partners have slowed the swell of ransomware over the last three years, Jen Easterly, director of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency, said Wednesday at an event.

But the cyclical and persistent threat ransomware poses requires new ways of thinking, Easterly said, speaking at the Institute for Security and Technology’s annual ransomware task force event. Defenders and stakeholders have to turn the lens to software and hardware vendors, according to Easterly.

“There’s a lot about the villains. There’s a lot about victims. We do not talk enough about vendors,” she said.

“The way we are going to actually drive down the number of attacks, and the number of successful attacks, is if we go upstream and ensure that technology that is deployed and delivered is in fact prioritized to be secure,” Easterly said. “Not features, not speed to market, not driving down costs, but secure. That’s why we’re in this issue.”

Secure by design, a collective push to shift the responsibility for security in technology products and services to manufacturers and vendors, remains a principles-based work in progress. For now, there are no enforcement mechanisms tied to these guidelines.

Officials know they still have work to do downstream, and positive outcomes could take years to materialize.

While efforts such as stopransomware.gov, the Joint Ransomware Task Force, the pre-ransomware notification initiative, the ransomware vulnerability warning pilot and the known exploited vulnerabilities catalog are not magic solutions, the number of attacks would be much higher without them, Easterly said. cybersecuritydive.com

Cybersecurity & Cloud the Two Largest Skill Gaps
Closing the cybersecurity skills gap with upskilling programs
The list of skills technologists and organizations need to succeed grows with each new tech advancement, according to Pluralsight. But for many organizations, budgets and staff continue to shrink.

Critical skills gaps in organizations

The results were unanimous across markets and career levels: cybersecurity, cloud, and software development, which are considered the most imperative tech skills to learn, are the top areas where skills gaps persist. Cybersecurity and cloud have been named the two largest skill gaps since 2021.

This sends a clear message: before prioritizing skills for tech trends, an organization needs solid foundational skills in security, cloud, and software development.

65% of respondents said cybersecurity skills were lacking most within their organizations, followed by cloud (52%) and software development (40%). Cybersecurity skills were cited as the most important to learn in the next year (63%), followed by cloud (47%), and software development (45%).

Despite the hype in your news feed, Pluralsight’s report found that AI/ML skills gaps are the lowest priority to address, but demand is growing. Compared to last year, 11% more technologists are interested in building AI/ML skills.

When a skills gap is identified, organizations have two options: hire new talent or upskill current employees. Hiring is often regarded as a quick way to find top talent with the right skills, but the findings say otherwise. 66% of organizations say hiring takes longer or the same amount of time as upskilling existing talent.

Upskilling tends to be more cost-effective: helpnetsecurity.com

Amazon Delivery Driver Raped & Kidnapped
Amazon delivery driver raped in apartment mailroom and kidnapped, Tennessee police say
An Amazon driver doing early morning deliveries was raped in an apartment mailroom and kidnapped, Tennessee authorities said.

The 25-year-old woman was delivering packages at a building in Nashville at around 4 a.m. April 26, the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department said in a news release. Then 34-year-old Carl Hamilton “pushed her further into the mailroom” and closed the door, police said.

He told her to take off her clothes and then sexually assaulted her, with the attack caught on surveillance footage, according to police.

Hamilton is accused of forcing the woman to go to an ATM with him and withdraw $100 from her account, police said.

“He then drove her around for about an hour before eventually leaving her and her car,” police said.

Officers responded to the apartment building and reviewed the surveillance footage of the attack. As they were leaving, they said they saw the man outside and arrested him.

The building manager and police said Hamilton was arrested at the apartment in January and March on criminal trespassing accusations. Davidson County records show the trespassing charges were dropped the day before the attack on the delivery driver.

“We’re deeply troubled by this terrible incident,” Amazon spokesperson Branden Baribeau said in an emailed statement to McClatchy News. “We’ve been in touch with the driver to assist her during this difficult time and the Metro Nashville Police Department to lend support as they continue to investigate.” charlotteobserver.com

'Widespread' Union Cancellation Efforts by Amazon
Is Amazon selling its workers down the river?

A UK trade union has issued legal proceedings against the world’s largest retailer, alleging aggressive tactics to induce workers to cancel their union membership.

The GMB trade union, one of the largest in the UK with more than half a million members, has today (26 April) confirmed that it has filed legal proceedings against retail giant Amazon, accusing the company of engaging in “widespread attempts to coerce staff to cancel their trade union membership”. Just a few days ago GMB secured formal recognition at an Amazon fulfilment centre in Coventry, a landmark decision that could pave the way for the first unionised Amazon workforce outside the US.

The lawsuit, known as an inducement claim, alleges that Amazon has been employing aggressive anti-union tactics to undermine GMB’s organising efforts, including pressuring staff to leave the union. The union claims Amazon has erected QR codes in fulfilment centres that, when scanned, generate an email requesting membership cancellation.

The company also stands accused of mandating hour-long anti-union seminars led by senior managers. Moreover, the GMB hass alleged that Amazon liberally displayed anti-union propaganda in the workplace.

Amanda Gearing, a GMB senior organiser, said in a statement: “This is a company out of control. Amazon is a multi-billion-pound corporation, doing everything in its power to stop minimum wage workers from forming a union.” Gearing went on to condemn Amazon’s alleged use of “American anti-union tactics”, and that its behaviour is a demonstration of the company’s “blatant disregard for British labour laws”.

Rosa Curling of Foxglove Legal, representing the GMB, echoed these concerns, commenting: “In Britain, everyone has the right to join a union and organise for better working conditions. Amazon has driven a truck through that basic right.”

Similarly, Article 11 of the European Convention on Human Rights – the right to freedom of association and assembly – encompasses the right to form and join trade unions. iclg.com

88 Arrested in Large-Scale Organized Retail Theft Sting by Joint San Mateo, Daly City, & San Bruno Operation
In an operation that spans six months, the joint forces of San Mateo, Daly City, and San Bruno police departments, supported by the San Mateo County District Attorney's Office, have cracked down on organized retail theft (ORT), netting significant gains. According to the San Mateo Police Department, the task force, backed by a substantial grant from the Board of State Community Corrections, has led to the arrest of 88 suspects and the recovery of over $23,500 in stolen merchandise, signalling a victory for local law enforcement in a bid to keep the community safe from crime waves that have recently surged. Chief Ed Barberini of the San Mateo Police Department praised the operation, noting an "immediate and impactful return" on their coordinated efforts to tackle rampant theft across participating cities, the task force, deploying officers in both undercover and uniformed roles, has visibly improved the safety and security atmosphere in local shopping centers, a sentiment echoed by Acting Police Chief Cameron Christensen of Daly City who pointed out that proactive engagements and improved relationships with retailers have led to a fortified retail landscape, equipping it with better defenses against organized theft rings according to a statement obtained by Nixle. This comprehensive approach has been a game changer when it comes to cutting off ORT at its knees, but the fight is far from overall efforts are still underway to keep the trend in decline. hoodline.com
