answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/06/2018 answer text <p>Statistics on shoplifting offences reported to the police are recorded in the crime statistics published by the Office for National Statistics. The statistics can be accessed via their website at <a href="http://www.ons.gov.uk" target="_blank">www.ons.gov.uk</a>.</p><p>The Home Office Commercial Victimisation Survey 2016 provides an analysis of crimes against businesses and shows that crimes against the wholesale and retail sector fell between 2012 and 2014, followed by a small increase between 2014 and 2016. According to the Survey, 67 per cent of the crimes against the sector in 2016 were shoplifting incidents.</p><p>As part of the response to these crimes, we encourage all retailers to report shoplifting to the police whenever it occurs, so that these crimes can be investigated and, where appropriate, the offenders brought to justice. It must, however, remain a matter for chief constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, as operational leaders and elected local representatives, to decide how best to deploy resources to respond to these crimes. At the national level, the police, Police and Crime Commissioners, relevant government departments and the retail sector are all represented on the National Retail Crime Steering Group, which ensures a collaborative response to crimes that affect the retail sector.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 18/06/2018 16:27:43 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
