07678. THEFT BY EMPLOYEES: A BOOK REVIEW. Summary and review of this book by Hollinger and Clark. The book is the result of an extensive and intensive study of employee theft conducted by two sociologists, with fascinating first-hand data on the extent of and attitudes to the problem. Five hypotheses of causes of theft are examined, with the conclusion that the informal "social controls" of the peer group are the most effective deterrent, and that management must bake its commitment to honesty a major priority to achieve results. Review is very favorable to this ground-breaking result. 5p. 1b. notes in text.
