Community Impact of Shoplifting by Shabnam Barsha is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Shoplifting has negative effects that extend beyond the individual perpetrator. It impacts retailers through lost revenue and increased security costs that are passed on to consumers through higher prices. Community is also affected when shoplifting forces stores to close or relocate, depriving the area of economic opportunities. Additionally, community time and resources must be spent addressing shoplifting instead of other productive civic projects. Shoplifting costs the US over $30 billion annually.
