CCTV cameras boost public’s safety perception, but lack effectiveness in crime fighting

CCTV surveillance cameras offer an increased level of confidence and security for most members of the general public, but, unfortunately, they’re not equally effective in actually providing relevant information that could lead to the apprehension of offenders, a new report reveals.

So, 38 percent of people feel safe in areas where they know CCTV is being used because it acts as a deterrent, and a further 41 percent attribute the feeling of safety to the fact that security forces can use the footage if anything were to happen. However, there are quite a large number of people who believe that the quality of the CCTV images is simply too poor to allow for the proper identification of assailants.

For this reason, it should not come as a surprise that 72 percent of the public would feel more secure if Britain’s streets had high-definition (HD) CCTV in place rather than standard CCTV systems so that clearer pictures could be obtained.
