The problem of mall crime might appear to broad or insurmountable to actually solve, but keep in mind, crime can be eradicated or greatky reduced once we establish where the crime is occurring. In this case we know, its at the mall. This problem can be solved one mall at a time by implementing solutions on both corporate and personal levels. First, on a corporate level, mall owners need to take a more active role in the safety of their patrons. Shoppers are worthy of adequate protection and in compliance with that security personal must receive formal and intensive training. SSI can provide the expertise to achive this important goal.
