Book Description

March 17, 2000
In this insightful book, the author, shares his professional expertise in the field of retail security with actual cases from the perspective of the person stopped, then from the point of view of the security agent. Following each such scenario, Mr. Sennewald then analyses what occurred and informs the reader whether the detention was valid or done in error...and why! This unusual treatment of this common but misunderstood problem in our society provides the consumer, the merchant, skilled legal professionals and professional store security agents with a new insight not offered by any other book or other written materials.

Shoplifting is a crime that has an insidious impact on everyoneÂ’s budget. As the retailerÂ’s losses continue to soar, so do the prices, we, the consumer, have to pay to compensate for the millions of dollars lost yearly nationwide due to shoplifting.

Charles SennewaldÂ’s writing style and interesting experiences during his lifelong career holds an interesting appeal for any reader. He tells his stories with excitement and a passion that clearly exhibits his expertise on this subject, a subject that should be of interest to anyone.

Review

This book is a must read for anyone involved with shoplifting. Its down-to-earth scenarios can even benefit civil attorneys whose clients are either the accuse or the accuser. --John H. Christman, CPP, Security Consultant

This book will now be required reading and a training tool for Safeguard employees and we will be providing each of our rtail clients a copy of the book. --A. Denis, CPP, CFE, Chairman of the Board & CEO - Safeguard Services, Inc.

Mr. Sennewald highlights the age-old conflict between the duty of store owners to protect their merchandise and the rights of the consuming public. He uses a comon-sense approach to resolve many of these conflicting issues. This text should be mandatory reading for anyone affected by shoplifting. --William C. Haggerty, Esq., Civil Defense Attorney

5.0 out of 5 stars "Must" reading for all shopkeepers & business owners., July 4, 2000
This review is from: Shoplifters vs. Retailers The Rights of Both (Paperback)
While larger companies with professional shoplifter patrols may benefit the most from these case histories, Shoplifters vs. Retailers holds information not readily available in such a specific form and retailers and students of law alike will find it important. Shoplifters vs. Retailers covers legal issues and rights of both retailer and shoplifter, relying entirely on case histories of selected shoplifter apprehension scenarios; and will prove essential to retailers who wonder about recourse in identifying and detailing shoplifters or suspects.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent!, April 1, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Shoplifters vs. Retailers The Rights of Both (Paperback)
I am new to the field of Loss Prevention. I found this book very informative and insightful. Its too bad I didn't have it when I started six months ago as I would have avoided some rookie mistakes! The case reviews are interesting and instructional.

I recommend this book to anyone just entering the LP field.

4.0 out of 5 stars Single Item Stops?, October 10, 2001
By 
Jerry Werzinsky (Novato, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Shoplifters vs. Retailers The Rights of Both (Paperback)
It first when I saw the title "Shoplifters vs. Retailers: The Rights of Both" all I could think of was the only rights shoplifters should have is to be "hooked and booked". However, after reading the book I would say the book should be required reading for begining Loss Prevention Agents. I like the Scenario and Analysis set up of the book. But there are far too many "single item" detentions in the book. For me to risk my badge, possibly my job, and a lawsuit on a bad detention if I am wrong on a single item, I have to be VERY certain that a shoplift has occurred and that the individual has the merchandise. Not that I have not been involved in single item detentions, but sometimes it's better to let someone walk with the merchandise; because if the person is a true shoplifter they will be back.
