对 1992 年或 1993 年期间佛罗里达州迈阿密和坦帕周边选定大都市区的便利店（C 店）抢劫和与抢劫有关的雇员伤害数量进行了估计；佐治亚州亚特兰大；伊利诺伊州芝加哥；马里兰州巴尔的摩；马萨诸塞州波士顿；密歇根州底特律；宾夕法尼亚州匹兹堡和费城；哥伦比亚州查尔斯顿、南卡罗来纳州格林维尔和斯帕坦堡；以及弗吉尼亚州阿灵顿县、切斯特菲尔德县和亨利科县。 1992 年或 1993 年，所有选定地区（亚特兰大和芝加哥除外）发生了 1835 起便利店抢劫案，其中 12 起是针对便利店员工的凶杀案；便利店员工非致命伤害219起； 1071 起抢劫事件，其中无人受伤，但对便利店员工使用、展示或暗示使用武器； 132 起抢劫事件中，没有造成人员受伤，也没有使用武器，但有一名员工遭到殴打、推搡或推搡。 1993 年 1 月至 6 月期间在芝加哥发生的 238 起受害人就业状况不明（顾客或雇员）的抢劫案的相应数字包括 3 起凶杀案、53 起非致命伤害、120 起使用武器但无人受伤的袭击以及 57 起有人被击打、推搡或推搡但无人受伤的袭击。在选定的地区，导致员工被杀或受伤的抢劫比例从 0.03 到 0.25 不等。雇员被杀和受伤的比例是。巴尔的摩 (.24)、底特律 (.25) 和弗吉尼亚州 (.14) 的目标区域为 14 或更高；在芝加哥，员工或客户的比例为 0.24。这些数据得出的结论是，在某些大都市地区，便利店抢劫中员工受伤的风险很高。这强调了有效的抢劫预防计划以减少伤害的必要性。此外，还需要进一步研究来确定便利店行业预防计划的有效性以及这些计划在其他零售行业的应用。
The number of robberies and robbery-related injuries to employees in convenience stores (C-stores) during 1992 or 1993 were estimated for selected metropolitan areas around Miami and Tampa, Florida; Atlanta, Georgia; Chicago, Illinois; Baltimore, Maryland; Boston, Massachusetts; Detroit, Michigan; Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania; Charleston, Columbia, Greenville, and Spartanburg, South Carolina; and Arlington, Chesterfield, and Henrico counties, Virginia. Of the 1835 C-store robberies that occurred during 1992 or 1993 in all selected areas (excluding Atlanta and Chicago), there were 12 homicides of C-store employees; 219 nonfatal injuries of C-store employees; 1071 robberies in which there were no injuries but a weapon was used, displayed, or implied toward a C-store employee; and 132 robberies in which there was no injury and no weapon used, but an employee was struck, pushed, or shoved. Corresponding figures for the 238 robberies that occurred in Chicago during January to June 1993, and for which victim employment status was unknown (customer or employee) were three homicides, 53 nonfatal injuries, 120 attacks in which a weapon was used but there was no injury, and 57 attacks in which a person was struck, pushed, or shoved but there was no injury. The proportion of robberies that resulted in a homicide or injury to an employee varied among selected areas from .03 to .25. The proportion of homicides and injuries to an employee was. 14 or higher for target areas in Baltimore (.24), Detroit (.25), and Virginia (.14); the proportion to an employee or customer was .24 in Chicago. The conclusions from these data are that the risk of employee injury in C-store robberies was high in selected metropolitan areas. This underscores the need for effective robbery prevention programs to reduce injury. In addition, further research is needed to determine the effectiveness of prevention programs in the C-store industry and the application of these programs to other retail industries.
