Abstract

Research has indicated that businesses suffer from higher rates of victimisation than households. This produces high consequent financial losses from crime. In the light of these findings, interest in business victimisation, the costs of crime to businesses and how businesses can reduce their risks of victimisation has grown amongst both academics and practitioners. This chapter reports the findings of a research project which investigated commercial crime on three streets in the London Borough of Camden. First,the rates of business victimisation and the impact of crime on businesses are discussed. Second, the efforts of businesses to increase the risks of crime for offenders through installation of crime prevention measures are considered. Finally, business involvement in community safety and the problems encountered when trying to increase it are discussed.
