On today’s episode, Nicole is joined by leading experts in criminology and retail crime—Professor Michael Townsley (Griffith University) and Professor Joe Clare (University of Western Australia).

Together, they are shaping one of the most important pieces of research in our industry—the Australia & New Zealand Retail Crime Report.

In this episode, we go behind the scenes of the research—exploring how the data is collected, the methodologies used, and why a robust, industry-led approach is critical to understanding the true scale and nature of retail crime.

We also discuss the role retailers play in contributing to the research, and why their input is essential to ensuring the findings are both meaningful and actionable.
