"Just 30 U.S. retail companies lost over
$5.0 billion to shoplifting and employee theft in 2001, with only 3.45
percent of those losses resulting in a recovery, according to the
Fourteenth (14th) Annual Retail Theft Survey conducted by Jack L. Hayes
International, the leading loss prevention and inventory shrinkage control
consulting firm. According to Jack Hayes, this means that for every one
dollar recovered, another $27.95 is lost to retail theft."

"An ever-widening array of devices, such as phone tapping, video
surveillance, and computer monitoring, allow employers to monitor
employees to check on productivity, quality, safety, drug use, theft, use
of company time and resources for personal business, and to try to prevent
harassment. While many motives are positive and help protect employees,
the activities raise questions about invasion of privacy and even health.
By following certain guidelines, employers can defuse or avoid the
negative aspects of monitoring, but should undertake such activities with
much forethought and care."

"The use of violence to further political or social objectives, which is
roughly how terrorism is defined by the US Department of Justice, is on
the rise today and cannot be ignored by organizations. Using the model
presented, organizations can analyze their vulnerability to terrorism and
take appropriate steps to contain that risk. The areas that need to be
evaluated are the threat of terrorism (including the form it may take),
potential targets, environmental factors, organizational exposure, and
organizational preparedness."
