This book examines the rise of organized retail crime (ORC) as a growing challenge to public safety, economic stability, and consumer protection in the United States. It traces the shift from isolated theft to coordinated criminal networks operating across jurisdictions. The chapters explore how these networks function, their impact on businesses and communities, and the increasing complexity of enforcement. The book also analyzes federal policy responses, including the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act of 2025, highlighting ongoing debates over prevention, prosecution, and interagency coordination. This book offers a concise but substantive account of a rapidly evolving issue at the intersection of crime, commerce, and governance.
