GRTB2009 is comfortably the largest survey in
the world into retail shrinkage and crime. This is the third Global
survey and the ninth study in the European series (previously it
was the European Retail Theft Barometer). The GRTB, which
is sponsored by Checkpoint Systems, Inc., is used by retail corporations
across the world to evaluate trends and to benchmark themselves
against other companies.
Some key facts from the Theft Barometer will be posted on the site
after publication.
- If you replied to the survey, a copy of the results will be
sent to you by the Centre.
- Otherwise, when it is published, you need to buy a copy (from
