What is one of the primary reasons a retailer would engage in Civil Recovery?

Engaging in Civil Recovery is primarily focused on recovering financial losses incurred as a result of theft incidents. Retailers experience significant financial impacts from shoplifting, employee theft, and other forms of loss. Civil Recovery allows stores to legally seek restitution from individuals who have committed theft, thus providing a mechanism to reclaim some of the lost revenue. This approach is not only about compensating financial losses but also serves to deter future theft by holding offenders accountable through civil actions.

Other aspects, such as de-escalating theft, improving employee morale, or enhancing the store's appearance, are important considerations in the wider context of retail management but do not directly align with the financial recovery objectives that Civil Recovery aims to fulfill.
