THE BOOKS, ARTICLES, REPORTS, AND AUDIOVISUAL MATERIALS CITED HAVE PUBLICATION DATES LARGELY FROM 1974 TO 1979. THEY ARE DIVIDED INTO THREE SEPARATE SECTIONS, ALTHOUGH SUBJECTS OVERLAP AND READERS ARE DIRECTED TO REVIEW ALL SECTIONS. THE NATURE AND EXTENT OF THE PROBLEM IS TREATED IN THE OPENING SECTION. UNDER THIS CATEGORY ARE LISTED STATISTICS AND GENERAL OVERVIEWS OF INTERNAL AND EXTERNAL CRIME. PREVENTIVE TECHNIQUES ARE ADDRESSED BY MATERIALS REFERENCED IN THE SECOND SECTION. SELECTIONS ARE INCLUDED WHICH DEAL WITH SECURITY MEASURES SUCH AS ALARM SYSTEMS, INVESTIGATIVE TECHNIQUES FOR GUARDING PREMISES, ETC.; METHODS FOR DETECTING AND DEALING WITH POTENTIALLY DISHONEST EMPLOYEES, PRE-EMPLOYMENT SCREENING, LIE DETECTOR TESTS, MORALE BUILDING, INTERNAL CONTROLS; AND OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION. THE FINAL SECTION LISTS FILMS THAT ILLUSTRATE THE VULNERABILITY OF RETAIL BUSINESSES AND MEASURES THAT CAN BE TAKEN TO PREVENT EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL CRIME. ALL ENTRIES ARE CONTAINED IN THE NCJRS COLLECTION AND ARE ARRANGED WITHIN SECTIONS BY THEIR NCJRS NUMBER. SUBJECT, AUTHOR, AND TITLE INDEXES ARE PROVIDED, AS IS INFORMATION ON OBTAINING THE DOCUMENTS LISTED. (AUTHOR ABSTRACT MODIFIED)
