2. Proportionate response: The detention must be a proportionate response to the suspected crime. This means that the level of force used and the duration of the detention should be reasonable and necessary to address the situation.

3. Compliance with store policy: The detention should be conducted in accordance with the store's policies and procedures for handling suspected shoplifters. This may include notifying law enforcement, documenting the incident, and following specific protocols for detaining individuals.

4. Respect for the individual's rights: Throughout the detention process, the individual's rights must be respected. This includes informing them of the reason for the detention, allowing them to present their side of the story, and ensuring that they are treated with dignity and respect.

Overall, proper detention in cases of shoplifting requires a careful balance between protecting the store's interests and respecting the rights of the individual suspected of the crime.
