During the past decade, according to the CRISP Report, industry leaders and retail associations have increasingly acknowledged ORC as a growing problem, fueled, at least in part, by the emergence of Internet auction sites, lack of effective legislation to increase criminal sanctions for ORC and the ability to reintroduce stolen goods back into legitimate supply chain channels.
Effectively addressing this growing concern requires a comprehensive examination of ORC, its harmful effects, and the industry, legislative and law enforcement initiatives most likely to curtail it.

The report lists some of the “hot” items targeted by organized retail criminals, which are goods that command near-retail resale price. These include designer clothing, teeth whiteners, gift cards, electronics, DVDs, CDs, razor blades, over-the-counter medicines, beauty care items and infant formula.
