SME NewsCall For Better Business Crime Reporting
Federation of Small Busineses and Coalition Against Crime launch crime reporting campaign.
Today sees the launch of the Every Crime Every Time campaign designed to encourage businesses to record and report every crime committed against them to the police.
The campaign launched by the Federation of Small Businesses and the Coalition Against Crime highlights that while one fifth of all UK crime is committed against business, only one in eight incidents is reported. This is largely put down to a belief among business owners that crime against business is not a high priority for police.
The campaign is also calling for business crime statistics to be included in the performance targets of police forces.
Anne Tate, chief executive of the Coalition Against Crime, said:
By reporting every incident of crime, anti-social behaviour or verbal and physical abuse against staff, small business owners can help us to put more pressure on police forces to take crime against business seriously.
