| Summary |
Some banks apparently view robberies as just part of a wider cost-benefit equation. Traumatised employees and relatively small financial losses are traded off against the greater expense of added security and extended care for staff. In this exploration of armed hold-ups, convicted armed robbers speak candidly about how they conduct their crimes and about the terror that they deliberately create. Bank staff who have faced robberies describe the acute moments of panic, their lasting nightmares and their shock at then being demoted or cast aside by their employers. 'Victim mentality is alive and well, ' says one industry document about staff. Four Corners asks if laws aimed at helping victims may actually be encouraging robberies and discovers which city claims the undisputed title of Australia's bank robbery capital |
