Organizational retail crime, also known as ORC, represents a growing threat to the retail industry, involving coordinated efforts by organized groups to engage in criminal activities targeting retail establishments. Unlike individual shoplifting incidents, organizational retail crime is characterized by its strategic planning, and involvement of multiple participants, and often extends across various geographical locations. The perpetrators of organizational retail crime employ sophisticated techniques, posing challenges to retailers and law enforcement agencies.
