Try to notice as much as possible about the robber or robbers yourself, without discussion with other witnesses. Make mental notes of the following:. Be aware of where the offender went in the premises and what was touched. Activate the hold-up alarm if possible, but only if it can be done safety. Call the police. Do not try to set off the alarm silent or other or call the police while the robber is still present on the premises unless it can be done without being obvious to the robber.
By following a known set of procedures after a robbery, each business employee will be in a better position to help police arrest the robber, and, more importantly, to protect all employees and innocent customers from harm. Management should establish in advance which personnel will take certain actions if a robbery occurs. Decide now which employee will lock the doors, who will call the police, who will care for anyone injured, who will look for the getaway car, and who will protect the evidence.
It is important to recognise that the effects of a robbery can vary greatly between victims. Tasmania Police wish to acknowledge South Australia Police for materials provided for this booklet.

For a similar, but more recent cost-benefit analysis of delinquency prevention programs, please refer to the Pennsylvania study conducted by Jones, Bumbarger, Greenberg, Greenwood and Kyler Following Welsh and Farrington , cost analysis, which monetizes only program inputs, will not be considered as a major economic analysis approach as it does not attempt to relate a program's costs with its outcomes.
Instead, it will be described as a component technique to measure part of the information required within the context of cost-effectiveness and benefit-cost analyses. The benefits are computed in the numerator of the benefit-cost equation. Above the sigma symbol in the numerator is the upper-case, italicized letter T , and below it is the equation t italicized, in lower-case equals 0.
Costs are computed in the denominator of the equation. Above the sigma symbol in the denominator is the upper-case, italicized letter T , and below it is the equation t italicized, in lower-case equals 0. Conceptually, the equation means that the benefit-cost ratio for a given program is equal to the total benefits over the project lifetime, are discounted to present value, divided by the total costs over the project lifetime, also discounted to present value.
The benefit-cost ratio therefore represents the benefits obtained for each dollar invested in the program. However, in the interest of presenting a readable account, a simplified text version will be used. An alternate way of analyzing cost and benefit information is by looking at net value benefits minus costs. However, as Welsh and Farrington point out, the BCR has several advantages in that it controls for currency and time period differences. If an evaluator wants to restrict their analysis to the costs and benefits realized by a program's funding body, cost-savings analysis a subset of benefit-cost analysis may be used.
In this case, only the costs and benefits to the particular stakeholder e. For an example of such a study, please refer to the Conference Board of Canada It is somewhat preferable to monetize the lifetime cost of an offender using both official records and repeated self-reports e. In Canada, the equivalent Criminal Code charge is breaking and entering Kowalski, Businesses and municipalities are working together to increase surveillance at places where many robberies occur.
