Racially aggravated attacks and gang-related incidents also rose, the report found.

Helen Dickinson, chief executive of the British retail consortium, writes in the foreword of the report:"Violence against employees is one of the most pressing issues retailers face, and yet again we have seen in increase in the overall number of incidents… incidents are becoming more severe, with weapons, particularly knives, posting a more significant threat than before."

The report states the total cost of crime and crime prevention for retailers was £1.9bn last year, up 12% from the previous year . This figure is equivalent to around 20% of the estimated profits of the entire retail industry. Investment in preventing crime made up £1bn of this figure, while £900m is lost as a direct cost of retail crime.
