True, but only if the employees are really dumb. Smart ones will find a way to steal without getting caught.

I recall a case study that showed a strong link between detection perception and theft. I’m leaning towards True for this one.

I’m a bit confused. I thought some industries had different levels of theft perception, so maybe it’s not true for all sectors?

This sounds familiar! I feel like we discussed a similar question in class, and I think the answer was True because of the deterrent effect.

I think I remember something about how perceived detection can deter theft, but I'm not entirely sure if it's true for all sectors.

Okay, to solve this I'll need to consider the implications of the statement and whether it holds true across all industry sectors. Gotta think this through step-by-step.
