Loss prevention is very important for retailers (see this prior post, for example).
In an interview with the National Retail Federation, Rosamaria Sostilio — Senior Vice-President of Asset Protection for Saks Incorporated identified six loss prevention trends for 2013:
-
The increased concern about violence in the apprehension of shoplifters
-
The greater emphasis on emergency response plans
-
An enhanced approach for dealing with organized retail crime (ORC)
-
The integration of emerging technologies into operations
-
The further improvement of background screening practices
-
More career opportunities in loss prevention

Retailing: From A to Z 
Just to add some context … LP or “shrinkage” represents a $34.0 billion loss to the retail industry. Of this amount, about 45% is due to employee theft; 35% to shoplifting; and 20% due to accounting errors and vendor fraud. Average store shrink within the industry is about 1.5% of total retail sales in any given period. More info follows in this link.

That is a very good tip particularly to those new to the blogosphere.
