The countries with the most shoplifters and dishonest employees in the retail sector...

According to the annually published Global Retail Theft Barometer, Europe has seen an increase in theft of 7.8 percent over the past year.

The survey, derived from questioning shop owners in each respective country, calculates the "shrinkage" within the retail industry. Shrinkage in this case, refers to the monetary value of goods that are stolen from or lost by retailers through a variety of avenues.

Shrinkage is caused by two main factors: shoplifting and dishonest employees. Internal administrative errors and fraud on the part of suppliers also play their part. Full story...
