3. To compare and contrast the UK cargo theft situation with worldwide.

A conclusion section must:

1. Summarise the key findings of the study

2. Explicitly answer the research question and address the research aim/objectives

3. Inform the reader of the main contributions to the research base that the study makes

4. Acknowledge negative aspects of the study – although not in huge detail as they have already been covered in the ‘limitations’ section of the discussion

5. Present recommendations for future research
