What is 'Derbyshire Business Against Crime'?

Because of the crime is recorded, the nature, scale and cost of crime against business can be hard to quantify. Also, these crimes are often seen to be victimless, meaning the effects of the crime are downplayed.

Businesses are at greater risk of crime than domestic households, and the risk of repeat incidents and associated costs are greater for businesses.

The effects of business crime are widely felt by employees, customers and the wider community. Also there is a reduction in profitability, loss of customers, and a likelihood of business failure.

Working in conjunction with The East Midlands Development Agency; Derbyshire Chamber of Commerce; Derbyshire County Council; Derbyshire Constabulary aims to reduce business crime and the fear of business crime.
