This report, Changing Retail, Changing Loss Prevention, analyses the evolution of retail crime and loss prevention in the light of the Global Retail Theft Barometer (GRTB) publications since 2001. The GRTB is a series of international reports produced by the Centre for Retail Research which provides annual data on the changing work of retail loss prevention in this period. The figures quoted in this report are global results drawn from the GRTB, unless otherwise stated.
Every edition of the GRTB, and its predecessor, the ERTB, has been sponsored by Checkpoint Systems, Inc, the global leader in shrink management, merchandise visibility and apparel labelling solutions. The GRTB is a means by which retailers can understand shrinkage and crime trends by sector and country, and is a contribution to debate within the retail industry.
