What is Organized Retail Crime?

Organized Retail Crime (ORC) is the large-scale theft of retail merchandise with the intent to resell items for financial gain, operating as part of a criminal enterprise. ORC is not just shoplifting, and these crimes are not victimless. In addition to the growing number of violent thefts, consumers, local communities, and businesses bear the costs of rising prices that are a result of the nearly $70 billion in annual stolen retail merchandise. It is estimated that the average American family will pay hundreds of dollars in additional costs every year due to the impact of ORC, and federal and state governments will incur billions in lost tax revenue.
