Primark、Boots and Asda 等 總數105個的知名大型零售商去信 Police and crime commissioners（PCC），促請有關部門重視和加強打擊英格蘭和威爾斯各城市的犯罪行為。
反社會行為日趨嚴重
由British Retail Consortium (BRC) 代表105間零售商致信給PCC，投訴針對店內員工的反社會行為（暴力、辱罵和騷擾等）日趨嚴重，這與近月的偷竊案增加有關。零售商已竭盡全力保護店內的同事和客戶的安全，例如，加強保安、進行相關的員工培訓、投資全新的閉路電視和隨身攝錄器材。
然而，這些都不足以打擊罪犯，因此British Retail Consortium (BRC)的代表去信有關部門投訴，信中說道： “cannot be allowed to get any worse”（不能讓情況變得更壞），明顯有著譴責的含意，認為警察部門沒有認真關注和重視情況。
犯罪率飆升，高於全國平均水平
警方記錄的犯罪統計數據顯示（截至 2022 年 3 月），店內偷竊的情況比上一年增加了 21%。偷竊的情況多了，令零售商的銷售額持續下跌3個月，只是近月的炎熱天氣令夏季服裝和野餐食品的需求大增，令7月的總銷售額增長了2.3%。
早前，位於利物蒲的麥當勞更下了禁令，每日下午5時後，在沒有成人陪同的18歲以下人士不准進入該店，全因店內經常發生青少年的反社會行為。
