Let We Talk About CCTV Cameras
My talk today will concern about the CCTV cameras. In the first part I try to define these cameras. In the next section, I will explain to initially of CCTV system. Then I will ask why many states have used these cameras and what's the aim? Finally I would talk about some finding of empirical studies.
Let we start!
CCTV, also known as video surveillance, is the use of video cameras to transmit a signal to a spesicif place, on a limited set of monitors. Also it is being widely used for surveillance and monitoring all across the globe, particularly in England. The first CCTV system was installed by Walter Bruch, in Germany, in 1942. It was used for observing the launch of V-2 rockets. With advences in tecnology, CCTV cameras are being used for traffic monitoring, crime registiration and crime prevention. Furthurmore, many people believe that these cameras discourage the criminals and prevent a crime. Althuough these cameras can help in curbing the offenses and felonies to a small extent, they are not just enough to discourage the blood-thirsty criminals on the move. Some empirical studies have revealed that these cameras have helped in property crimes such as theft, shoplifting, vandalism. But these cameras have not helped in personal crimes such as assault, homicide.
According to the Sabir Shah's news, many people think that these cameras reduce the crime rate, but there is no evidence for that. For instance, an average Londoner is captured on camera 300 times a day. There has been little or no change for not getting caught. In contrast, the Metropolis Police have said that in 2008, only one crime was solved for every 1,000 CCTV cameras.
That is to say, day by day, there has been an increase in surveillance and decline in the limits of privacy. We have to think about reality of aims of these cameras. Also we should ask why these cameras are everywhere.
