Crime survey calls for retailers to give evidence

The Association of Convenience Stores (ACS) is urging retailers to provide evidence on the impact of crime on their businesses. ACS’ Crime Survey includes a range of questions on burglary, robbery, and violence and harm against staff.

ACS will use this evidence to communicate the true impact of crime on local shops. Evidence from the Crime Survey will be submitted to the Home Office and used to inform the work of the National Retail Crime Steering Group.

James Lowman, ACS Chief Executive, said: “The evidence we gather in this crime survey is fundamental to informing our policy in the coming year. We want to find ways to prevent, detect and deter crime and we need support from Government, police and communities to do this.”

The deadline for responding to ACS Crime Survey 2012 is Friday 25th January 2013.
