STATISTICS ON THE CIRCUMSTANCES SURROUNDING BANK ROBBERIES FROM 1970 TO 1973 AND AN OVERVIEW OF PREVENTIVE EFFORTS BY POLICE AND BANKS, EMPHASIZING SECURITY FACILITIES AND PROCEDURES USED BY THE BANKS.
Abstract
STATISTICS ARE GIVEN ON THE KIND OF SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS PRESENT IN BANKS THAT WERE ROBBED. THE STUDY CONCLUDES THAT PROTECTION DOES INCREASE WHEN SECURITY HARDWARE IS ADDED. SECURITY ARRANGEMENTS ARE RECOMMENDED FOR INSTITUTIONS OF DIFFERENT SIZES AND TYPES. SECURITY AGAINST ROBBERIES WILL BECOME LESS IMPORTANT IN THE FUTURE AS THE USE OF CASH IN REPLACED BY COMPUTER CREDIT AND ACCOUNTING. --IN FRENCH
