flag UK retail violence down 20% but still high, with 118 daily incidents and 36 weapon attacks, despite £5B in security spending.

flag According to the British Retail Consortium's Crime Report, violence against UK retailers decreased by 20% but is still at a historically high level, with 118 physical incidents and 36 attacks involving weapons per day. flag Theft, particularly by organized gangs targeting expensive goods, is still common despite more than £5 billion in security investments and better police response; parcel theft costs more than £100 million. flag The forthcoming Crime and Policing Bill will reduce the threshold for prosecuting low-level theft and establish a separate offense for assaulting retail employees. flag Stronger enforcement, improved data sharing, and coordinated action to address systemic issues are demanded by BRC and union leaders, who emphasize the ongoing risks to employees.
