| Abstract |
The number of robberies and robbery-related injuries to employees in convenience stores during 1992 or 1993 was estimated for selected U.S. metropolitan areas. Of a total of 1835 such incidents, 12 involved homicides of convenience store employees and 219 resulted in nonfatal injuries. The risk of homicide or injury to these employees was high in many areas. There is a need for more effective robbery prevention and injury control programmes in the convenience store industry. |
