How can design contribute to crime reduction in the retail sector?
In what ways can independent retailers learn and apply lessons
from multiples on designing against criime?
What design strategies can be applied by the retail sector?
These and other questions are addressed by our report Off the
Shelf - Design & Retail Criime. Drawing on interviews with
design managers in some of Britain's best known stores, together
with surveys of independent retailers in Manchester and Shefield,
the report provides the most up-to-date source of information
for designers and retailers on this critical issue, together
with some practical design proposals.
The following chapters are included:

and overview of the retail design process.

at six leading retail chains, detailing best practice in
the field.

A nation of shopkeepers - interviews with 19 independent
store managers provide insights into the challenges facing
smaller retailers.
