A Recent CIOB poll of 1100 construction industry professionals found that 92% had experienced theft in their business and 91% vandalism, with 9% reporting losses of over £100,000 a year. (Source : Contract Journal 20.07.09)
Worryingly, 31% of respondents reported an increase in construction crime in the last 12 months. Most respondents linked this increase to the recession and thought that more people were turning to illegitimate ways to make money to survive the downturn.
