What international research shows
Published findings on this kind of intervention elsewhere, not results measured on this site.
Car parks showed the largest and most consistent effect of any setting studied: CCTV schemes there were associated with a 37% reduction in crime compared with control areas.
Source: Piza, Welsh, Farrington & Thomas (2019), CCTV surveillance for crime prevention: a 40-year systematic review with meta-analysis, Criminology & Public Policy, as summarised by the US National Institute of Justice's CrimeSolutionsA 40-year meta-analysis of 76 CCTV evaluations found about 14% lower odds of crime in areas with CCTV than in comparable areas without it. The effect was modest overall, and the review found no significant effect on violent crime, which is why cameras work best as one layer alongside access control and response.
