The U.S. Crime Surge
The Retail Impact
Predictive Analytics & "Digital
Empathy" Training:
A New Front in Retail Violence
Prevention
 By
the D&D Daily staff
As retail violence incidents rise nationwide, some companies are
combining data science and behavioral technology to identify early
warning signs before conflicts escalate.
Predictive analytics tools—once used mainly for shrink reduction—are
now being adapted to detect patterns of potential violence. By
aggregating data from prior incidents, employee reports, and even store
layout information, these systems can flag locations or timeframes where
aggression is statistically more likely to occur. One national pharmacy
chain, for example, recently began using incident-prediction software
that alerts district managers when risk factors spike, allowing for
added staffing or security presence before a flashpoint develops.
But tech isn’t just being used to predict; it’s being used to prepare.
Some retailers are rolling out AI-based “digital empathy” training that
simulates volatile customer encounters. Using natural-language
processing and emotion recognition, these programs allow associates to
practice de-escalation in lifelike virtual scenarios. The software
analyzes tone, pacing, and word choice—then provides instant feedback on
how employees can respond more calmly or defuse tension faster.
Experts say this hybrid model of analytics and immersive training
could redefine how retail security teams think about violence prevention.
“We’ve spent decades focusing on physical deterrents—guards, cameras,
barriers,” one loss-prevention consultant told D&D Daily. “Now, we’re
seeing technology being used to predict human behavior and strengthen
emotional intelligence. That’s a big shift.”
The approach is not without challenges. Privacy advocates warn against
over-reliance on predictive systems that could unfairly target certain
locations or demographics. Others note that empathy training is only
as effective as the company culture that supports it.
Still, as retailers search for new ways to protect workers and
customers, many see the fusion of analytics and emotional
intelligence tech as a promising next step—one that aims not just to
respond to violence, but to prevent it before it begins.
Is This the Solution to Gun Violence?
In This Small Mississippi Delta City, Even Adults Race Home to Beat
Curfew
In Greenville this year, leaders
imposed a strict curfew to curb gun violence. So far, the approach is
working, even as some question how far a city should go to fight crime.
Greenville officials declared a state of emergency and imposed a
temporary citywide curfew: With limited exceptions, no one would be
allowed on the streets after midnight. For minors and young adults, the
curfew was stricter.
This curfew has been welcomed by wary residents, if not by business
owners. And more than four months after the curfew was imposed, the
crime rate has tumbled. The City Council will soon determine how
long the curfew stays in place. By statute, it must be reviewed at least
every 30 days, and any permanent measures must be enacted through an
ordinance.
“We know this curfew cannot last forever. I think the discussion now
is going to be, how do we keep the crime levels down?” Mr. Simmons
said. “One measure that helps indirectly is to consider an ordinance
that restricts the business hours of nightclubs and late-night
establishments.”
Mayor Simmons said by declaring a state of emergency, the city could
impose protective measures including curfews during disasters, a civil
disorder or a public safety crisis. He said the city has also turned
to other crime-reduction strategies including Flock Safety, a
surveillance system that uses artificial intelligence to read license
plates and detect gunshots.

Is San Francisco the Next Site of
Trump's Crime Crackdown?
Trump reveals which major US city is next in crime crackdown while
touting success of 'Operation Summer Heat'
President announces federal law
enforcement will target the California city following FBI's record
arrest numbers
President Donald Trump on Wednesday announced federal law enforcement
will next set its eyes on San Francisco, commending the FBI's more than
23,000 violent criminal arrests, which he said is more than double
the number arrested in the final year of the Biden administration.
During an Oval Office news conference at the White House, Trump said
the FBI has "destroyed or severely disrupted" more than 170 organized
criminal enterprises and gangs, 1,600 of the most violent gangs, and
confiscated more than 6,000 illegal firearms since he was sworn in.
He added he wants to make every city safe, and his focus has turned to
San Francisco. "These are great cities that could be fixed," the
president said. "I'm going to be strongly recommending … [we] start
looking at San Francisco. I think we can make San Francisco one of
our great cities. … It's a mess, and we have great support in San
Francisco. … Every American deserves to live in a community where
they're not afraid of being mugged, murdered, robbed, raped, assaulted,
or shot."
During the news conference, FBI Director Kash Patel announced "Operation
Summer Heat," which the FBI created to target violent criminals,
yielded 8,700 arrests of violent offenders in three months.

The Debate Over Big City Crime - And
How to Fight It
Trump again claims Chicago is "most dangerous" city, but the data
doesn't agree
President Donald Trump has been declaring Chicago "the most dangerous
city in the world" for months, but the data doesn't back up those
claims, especially when put in context.
The White House pointed to data they said shows Chicago has had the most
murders of any U.S. city for more than a decade and that for years
Chicago has had the highest murder rate among U.S. cities with more
than 1 million people.
Jeff Asher, co-founder of AH Datalytics pointed out that Chicago's
per capita murder rate is well below several other U.S. cities, but
the White House is limiting the comparison to only nine cities that have
populations over 1 million.
Asher said that while violent crime in Chicago is down significantly
this year, he agrees with the White House that Chicago has a violent
crime problem. But the data from Washington, D.C. doesn't
necessarily show the National Guard is the answer.

$850B in Retail Returns
NRF: Consumers expected to return nearly $850B in merchandise in 2025
Returns are a major challenge for
retailers — and not just in terms of their financial toll.
Retailers estimate that 15.8% of their annual sales will be returned
this year, totaling $849.9 billion, according to the “2025 Retail
Returns Landscape” report released by the National Retail Federation and
Happy Returns, a UPS company. The returns rate is in line with 16.9%
last year, when returns totaled $890 billion.
At the same time, consumer expectations about returns are increasing.
Nearly all (82%) consumers cite free returns as a major consideration
when making a purchase, up from 76% last year. Consumers also value
immediacy, with 76% saying they are more likely to choose a return
option that provides an instant refund or exchange.
The study also found that a poor returns experience can deter future
purchases. About 71% of consumers say they are less likely to shop
with a retailer again after a poor experience, up from 67% in 2024. And
four out of five said they will share their negative experience with
friends and family, potentially amplifying the impact.
The top reasons retailers charge for returns are increases in the
cost of operations to process returns (40%), increases in carrier
shipping costs (40%) and economic uncertainty and risk of tariffs (33%).
Overall, nearly two-thirds (64%) of merchants say updating their returns
process in the next six months is a priority.
The study noted that return fraud is an ongoing
concern for the industry, with 9% of all returns deemed fraudulent.
Retailers that track such incidents noted increases in practices like
overstated quantity of returns (71%), empty box or “box of rocks” (65%)
and decoy returns such as counterfeit items (64%).
Technology offers partial relief, with artificial intelligence
being a popular option. Nearly all (85%) respondents said they are
employing AI to detect or prevent return fraud.

Government Shutdown Adds to Retail
Uncertainty
Smaller retailers face their toughest holiday season in years
Tariffs and economic uncertainty are
complicating an already fraught time. The key is to prioritize and lean
into what larger chains can’t offer.
The federal government shutdown that started Oct. 1 is just the
latest in a host of challenges, along with tariffs, inflation and
signs of economic weakness, that are bedeviling businesses as 2025
winds down. This makes smaller retailers — which lack the financial
buffer most big chains have — especially vulnerable as the holidays
approach.
“Everyone loves shouting about shopping small or local, especially
during the holiday season, but this year, small businesses are
heading into their busiest period with a level of uncertainty they
haven’t faced before,” said Jacob Bennett, co-founder and CEO of
Crux Analytics, which works with small businesses and their banks.
Business Index for September, which leverages transaction data from more
than 2 million U.S. small businesses across the country: Adjusted for
inflation, retail sales dropped 1.4% year over year.
Foot traffic is solid, but average basket size is down, according
to Mike Spriggs, head of consumer insights at Fiserv. “That tells us the
American consumer is still engaged — just price-aware and
promotion-sensitive,” Spriggs said by email.
Then there is the shutdown, which disrupted the loan program at the
Small Business Administration — both access to new loans and
management of existing ones. Among other consequences, this could
disrupt inventory management, which has already been roiled by tariffs.

Remote & Hybrid Work Continue to Fade
In-person work takes big leap in the Bay Area
A new poll suggests remote work is
fading, and even hybrid models are losing ground
The era of baking bread on a weekday morning or wearing pajama bottoms
below an ironed shirt for video office meetings appears to be on the
wane in the Bay Area.
Lockdowns during the early stages of the COVID pandemic wrought seismic,
lasting changes to the way people work, with full-time at-home
employment leading to widely adopted hybrid mixes of remote and
in-office work that remain popular among many workers and employers.
But a new poll suggests remote work is fading, and even hybrid models
are losing ground. This year, nearly two-thirds of employed
respondents say they worked fully in-person, compared to fewer than half
last year, according to the poll by Bay Area News Group and Joint
Venture Silicon Valley, a regional think tank.
“It’s a surprising result,” said Russell Hancock, Joint Venture’s
president and CEO. “We have seen many employers say, ‘The game’s up, we
need you back in the office.’ I’m hearing that most of all in the
intensive areas of our economy like AI and the startup environment. This
has become a hard valley … as opposed to the soft valley when everyone
was enjoying their perks, having their work-life balance.”

Human Oversight of AI is Still Needed
Need for Human Touch for Agentic AI in EHS
Decisions made by AI need to be
supervised by a human, as a poor decision or hallucination could result
in serious injury.
The firm notes that the last safeguard is often referred to as the
“human-in-the-loop” approach. They emphasize that, particularly in
EHS, a "poor AI decision or hallucination, such as missing a hazard,
overlooking a control, or recommending an unsafe procedure, could result
in a serious injury or fatality."
They conclude that, "agentic AI won’t replace the judgment of EHS
professionals, who remain essential at critical validation
checkpoints to confirm proposed root causes, controls, barriers and
actions."

Mitigating Retail Cybersecurity Risk
With the rapid growth in e-commerce, retailers increasingly
collect and store customer data to deliver personalized shopping
experiences. Yet without proper safeguards in place, unsecured data can
introduce significant risk.
In 2025 and 2024 alone, major retailers such as Dior, Adidas, The
North Face, Cartier, Victoria’s Secret, Pandora and Chanel were hit by
cyberattacks. In fact, Fortinet stated that 24 percent of all
cyberattacks specifically target retailers.
It’s not just consumer personal data that’s increasingly at risk, but
corporate information as well. “The retail industry is one of the
most IP-intensive industries in the world, and it needs to protect its
trade secrets as well as intellectual property,” said Alexander Niejelow,
executive director, Hilco Global Cyber Advisors, in a fireside chat for
Retail Rx with Lauren Parker, director of Fairchild Studio.
“There’s also a brand aspect from a reputational standpoint, which
makes retailers uniquely targeted, particularly by ransomware
actors. [Cyber attackers] understand that if they lock up a retailer’s
system, not only is there a trust aspect to it, but there’s a functional
operational capacity that stops. So, [criminals] see retailers as a ripe
target with both highly public-facing information and needs [and a
likelihood] to potentially pay the ‘ransom.’”
As mergers and acquisitions tick up in the fashion world, risk
assessments and cyber due diligence are more crucial than ever. With
multimillion or billion-dollar M&A hinging on proprietary IP and
critical data, a company can’t afford anything that would jeopardize
that value.
Niejelow, who has worked for everyone from The White House to Mastercard,
stresses that there isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution for retailers
and brands to eliminate cybersecurity danger. “Everything is a risk
judgment, and you can dial that up and down. That, to me, is what the
right level of engagement both the board and executive leadership teams
need to find buy in.”

AI & Cybersecurity Risks
Fortune 100 firms accelerate disclosures linked to AI, cybersecurity
risk
Companies are concerned about
deepfakes and unauthorized AI tools, and board committees are increasing
their oversight responsibilities.
Fortune 100 companies have sharply increased their public disclosures
and oversight over AI strategy and related risks, as a growing
number of companies rush to implement the technology into their
strategic growth plans, according to a report released Tuesday from EY.
Nearly half of Fortune 100 companies have disclosed AI as a focus of
board oversight, moving from 14% in EY’s 2024 report to 48% in the
current study. Four in 10 companies indicated that AI is the
responsibility of at least one board committee, according to the report.
This compares with only one in 10 companies a year ago.
“Which committee has oversight and how the board provides guidance is a
growing focus,” Patrick Niemann, EY Americas Center for Board Matters
leader, told Cybersecurity Dive. “With that they also need to consider
how they can keep pace with this growing area to ask the right
questions and tailor how they govern AI and its associated risks to
support the business’s strategic objectives.”
Fortune 100 companies are considered the top 100 companies in the U.S.,
based on an analysis of revenue.
More than one-third of these companies list AI as a risk factor
in their annual 10-K reports filed with federal regulators. This
compares with only 14% of companies in the year-ago study.
The report addresses specific concerns about AI risks among top
companies, including the increased threat of deepfakes and the risk
of data loss when employees use unapproved AI applications in the
workplace.

'Criminal Empire Disguised as
Business'
U.S. seizes $15 billion in Bitcoin linked to massive forced-labor crypto
scam
The U.S. government has seized about $15 billion worth of Bitcoin
connected to what prosecutors call one of the largest cryptocurrency
fraud and human trafficking operations ever uncovered.
Federal prosecutors in Brooklyn have charged Chen Zhi, also known as
“Vincent,” the founder and chairman of Cambodia’s Prince Holding Group,
with wire fraud conspiracy and money laundering conspiracy. If
convicted, Chen faces up to 40 years in prison.
A criminal empire disguised as business
According to the indictment, Chen ran a network of forced-labor scam
compounds across Cambodia where people were held against their will
and made to carry out pig butchering cryptocurrency scams. The schemes
stole billions of dollars from victims in the United States and around
the world. Chen remains at large.
According to prosecutors, Prince Group presented itself as a
legitimate real estate and financial services company operating in more
than 30 countries. In reality, it functioned as a massive criminal
organization, using scam compounds in Cambodia to carry out fraudulent
cryptocurrency schemes.

More Amazon Layoffs Coming
Amazon to cut HR jobs, wider layoffs expected - Fortune reports
Amazon is preparing to cut thousands
of corporate roles, with its HR division among the hardest hit, Fortune
reported.
Amazon is preparing a new wave of layoffs that will cut as much as
15% of its human resources staff, with additional job reductions
expected in other divisions, Fortune reported, citing people
familiar with the matter.
The human resources group, internally known as the People eXperience and
Technology (PXT) team, employs more than 10,000 people worldwide and
includes recruitment, technology and traditional HR functions. Two
sources told Fortune that the PXT unit would be heavily affected, but
that Amazon’s core consumer business is also likely to see cuts. The
exact number of job losses and the timing of the move remain unclear.
An Amazon spokesperson declined to comment when asked by Fortune.
Earlier this year, Amazon reduced headcount in smaller numbers across
its devices unit, the Wondery podcast division and Amazon Web
Services, Reuters reported at the time.
The planned cuts follow the company’s largest ever restructuring from
late 2022 into 2023, when it eliminated at least 27,000 corporate
roles, a reduction amounting to a high single-digit percentage of its
office staff, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Chief executive Andy Jassy has previously told employees that efficiency
gains from artificial intelligence would reduce the size of Amazon’s
corporate workforce. In a June companywide email, published on
Amazon’s corporate blog, Jassy wrote that staff who adopt AI would be
“well-positioned” while acknowledging that headcount would decline as
technology is deployed more broadly.

Amazon fires employee who was suspended for protesting company's work
with Israel
Ahmed Shahrour, a Palestinian
engineer who worked for Amazon’s Whole Foods business, was fired on
Monday after being suspended last month.
Amazon fired a Palestinian engineer who was suspended last month
after he protested the company’s work with the Israeli government.
Ahmed Shahrour, who worked as a software engineer in Amazon’s Whole
Foods business in Seattle, received an email on Monday informing him
of his termination. When he was suspended in September, Amazon said the
decision was the result of messages Shahrour posted on Slack criticizing
the company’s ties to Israel.
Amazon said its investigation found Shahrour had violated the
company’s standards of conduct, written communication policy and
acceptable use policy, alleging that he “misused company resources,
including by posting numerous non-work-related messages pertaining to
the Israel-Palestine conflict.”
“In the next 24hrs you will receive an email with detailed
information about your termination, including information about your
benefits and final pay,” an Amazon human resources employee wrote in a
message to Shahrour that was obtained by CNBC. “We appreciate the
contributions you’ve made during your time with Amazon and wish you the
best in your future endeavors.”
An employee group associated with Shahrour put out an afternoon press
release saying that he was fired after a five-week suspension “for
protesting Amazon’s $1.2 billion contract with the Israeli government
and military, known as Project Nimbus, which he states constitutes
collaboration in the ongoing genocide in Gaza.”

Brockton, MA: Search ongoing after AT&T workers say they were tied up and robbed
in Brockton
A search is ongoing in Brockton, Massachusetts, for a suspect after an armed
robbery Monday night at an AT&T store. It happened just after 8 p.m., and
workers said they were tied up and robbed at gunpoint. As of Tuesday morning, no
arrests had been made, and police continue their investigation into the
incident. A bag with thousands of dollars' worth of merchandise was found in a
nearby wooded area. Many details still need to be uncovered, but surveillance
footage from across the street is giving some clues about what may have
happened. The video appears to show a person pulling down the blinds inside the
store. Then, about five minutes later, they are seen dragging out a duffle bag.
Brockton police were called shortly thereafter and investigating. A worker who
was inside told NBC10 Boston that three employees were tied up and held at
gunpoint, saying "it wasn't good." In addition to the bag of merchandise, police
also found a sawed off shotgun.

First Impressions Count for Solutions, Too
The way you launch a new system sets the
tone for its entire lifespan. If it’s confusing, rushed, or feels like
punishment, good luck getting adoption later. Put thought into the
rollout—celebrate it, train it, support it. A strong first impression
creates believers instead of skeptics.
