While research into crimes against specific business sectors has begun to grow

of business within a sector may remain obscured. This is problematic because it
can result in an averaging effect and may mask real differences in levels of
crime. This paper builds on recent findings concerning the nature and extent of

CCTV: The French controversyCrime Prevention and Community Safety - - 2011
Laurent Mucchielli
The article discusses the French government support for the introduction of CCTV

Hui Ying Lu, Stephanie Chan, Whistine Chai, Shi Mian Lau, Majeed Khader
With the increase in scams globally and the elusive methods of perpetrators, law

been shown to hinder cognitive decision-making processes in scam victims,
