This report examines the LPRC‘s new crime control framework: Affect, Connect, and Detect. It specifically details the Affect component, aimed at preventing antisocial behavior in retail settings. The implications for retailers regarding product protection are also addressed.
The LPRC recently introduced the “Affect, Detect, and Connect” framework to enhance crime control measures against theft, fraud, and violence in retail environments. The “Detect” element involves methods for identifying antisocial behavior, while the “Connect” aspect focuses on integrating sensors, stores, store chains, and law enforcement to provide actionable insights.
This article concentrates on the “Affect” segment of the framework, which aims to deter antisocial behavior. While acknowledging that there’s no one-size-fits-all solution to deterrence, this framework provides valuable insights for pinpointing problem areas and deploying resources effectively.
