The Ultimate Guide to Workplace Theft & Fraud Detection

Based on over 11,000 apprehensions for theft and fraud, 21 years as a corporate investigator, 18 years as a business loss prevention consultant and partner in Loss Prevention Group Inc. (a Canadian security firm employing over 125 people in corporate investigations), Robert (Bob) Lee brings exceptional insight into the field of theft and fraud in the workplace.
Get Your Hands Outta My Pockets calls on Lee’s background as a BDC (Federal Business Development Bank) C.A.S.E. counsellor specializing in theft detection to offer unique insights into the how and why of deviance in business. Lee’s partnership with psychologists McShane & Noonan led to groundbreaking research on shoplifters and employee thieves, which has been cited by over 400 other researchers into theft-prone behaviour.
This book looks at the three keys to successful detection and deterrence of workplace theft and fraud: Motive, Opportunity and Indicators. Lee uncovers the balance, or critical mass where an individual is likely to commit an act of deviance. The MOI Inventory allows users to assess their business and their employees, customers and suppliers to see where they are exposed to potential larceny.
Sections on observation, detection apprehension, interview and deterrence offer fantastic tools for dealing with existing and emerging loss situations.
Get Your Hands Outta My Pockets is not a dry, pedantic text. It is filled with anecdotes and actual apprehensions that demonstrate the principles Lee discusses. It also includes information on technology, software and equipment that is vital to thwarting thieves, brief discussions on credit card and cybercrime, along with excerpts from the Criminal Code of Canada.
Although focused on Canadian law, the concepts behind the MOI Inventory are universally applicable, relying on both psychological profiles and everyday common sense understanding of human behaviour.
Get Your Hands Outta My Pockets is the ultimate guide to workplace fraud and theft and should be a “must” in your staff and management training regimen.
