What is the author’s purpose in writing the article?
Florida businesses will lose more money from crime this year than they'll spend on water, gas and electricity. This is according to a study released Tuesday. From shoplifting to employee theft, crime is expected to cost Florida
businesses $27.4 billion. The cost is twice that of residential crime, according to the report issued by Attorney General Charlie Crist and a law enforcement/industry coalition.
The biggest perpetrators, surprisingly, are not robbers and burglars. Rather, they are rogue employees, pilfering everything from stock inventory and office
supplies to company accounts and confidential data. More than $13 billion in losses -- almost half of Florida's annual total -- are attributed to those inside jobs, the study said. State officials said they are launching a campaign to
inform the public and business community about the problem.
To persuade the reader to buy a security system.
To entertain the reader with stories.
To inform the reader about how to steal from businesses.
To inform the reader about the effects of stealing.
