CCTV: Is it Effective?
A £1.5 million Home Office funded evaluation
programme is being carried out by the Scarman Centre, University
of Leicester, on 17 approved CCTV schemes. The study published
in 2004, aimed to answer the following:
 How
cost-effective is it?
What is the impact in residential areas?
Under what conditions does it work best?
What is the impact on the fear of crime?
How effective are mobile schemes?
What is the impact on detection, arrest, conviction, guilty pleas
and patrolling strategies?
Is crime displaced to areas without cameras, or is crime reduced
outside the CCTV area?
What is the deterrent effect on potential and convicted offenders?
