An Empirical Study on CCTV Surveillance and Women Security

Abstract

CCTV cameras prevent crime from occurring and minimize its levels where they cannot be completely eliminated. Crime was reduced by over 51% by the cameras in United Kingdom casinos and parking lots when tested for their effectiveness in preventing theft and crimes. In the majority of cases, criminals who attempt to commit crimes with the cameras are convicted in court after having evidence of their crimes Cameras provide evidence of crime, enabling the tracking of criminals to be easier. Due to the difficulty of proving crimes in many countries, many criminals avoided prosecution for their crimes, which encouraged more criminal activity. In the present study, the purpose is to obtain an understanding of the purposes attached to surveillance and its effectiveness in enhancing security and safety among women in Orissa, as well as what measures can be taken to increase their feelings of safety and security.
