      <image:caption>Organized retail crime (ORC) and violent retail theft have increased significantly; there’s a 93% rise in the average number of shoplifting incidents per year in 2023 versus 2019 (National Retail Federation)  Retailers are collaborating with technology companies to implement AI-enhanced security measures to prevent and deter theft  Good customer service is a key deterrent to shoplifting  Store layout and lighting also play critical roles in preventing theft  Most consumers who were interviewed value security but don’t want it to interrupt their shopping experience</image:caption>
