	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/04/2018 answer text <p>The Government recognises that crime against businesses causes damage and disruption to those businesses as well as having a negative impact on their customers and the wider community. However, we do not routinely collect data on the costs of different types of crimes to different types of businesses. We do have assessments of the costs of crime to the retail sector provided by our partners on the National Retail Crime Steering Group. For example, the British Retail Consortium has estimated that the direct financial cost of crime to the UK retail industry was £700 million in 2016-17. It estimated that the cost of customer theft was £503 million and the cost of fraud against the sector was £155 million.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 11/04/2018 09:40:30 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins

	question text	To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how his Department is assessing the effect of its policy to allow police forces to convict people who steal under £200 by post on levels of retail crime; and what assessment he has made of the effect of that policy on the regional disparity in retail crime offences.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2018 answer text <p>Shop theft is a high-volume crime that has a significant impact on retailers and the wider community. This is why we encourage retailers to report these crimes to the police, so that proportionate action can be taken against those who commit these offences.</p><p><em>By virtue of section 176 of the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, </em>the shoplifting of goods of a value of £200 or less is a summary offence unless the defendant, if an adult, elects to be tried in the Crown Court. Where a summary offence, the case can be handled as a police-led prosecution, and the defendant will be given the opportunity to plead guilty by post.</p><p>Police-led prosecutions were introduced to improve the efficiency of the criminal justice system by allowing for a simpler, more proportionate police-led process in high-volume, low-level, uncontested cases. We have not undertaken a specific assessment of the effect of this approach in relation to shop theft, including in relation to any regional variations in retail crime offences. However, the National Retail Crime Steering Group which I co-chair with the British Retail Consortium provides a forum for addressing issues in relation to shoplifting, which is a priority issue for the Steering Group.</p> answering member constituency Louth and Horncastle answering member printed Victoria Atkins question first answered 21/06/2018 16:38:23 answering member 4399 label Biography information for Victoria Atkins
