Thirdly, tackling retail crime requires a partnership approach between policing and business. The previous Minister for Crime and Policing launched the Tackling Retail Crime Together strategy, which was jointly developed by the police and the industry with the aim of providing a collaborative and evidence-based approach to preventing retail crime. This Government want to go further and faster, which is why the Home Secretary announced a “winter of action”. This winter, police forces across England and Wales will again form partnerships with local businesses and authorities to target shop theft and anti-social behaviour during the peak retail season.
