Funded Activity Summary

Crime and CCTV in Australia: Understanding the Relationship. Crime costs Australia $32 billion annually (Mayhew, 2003). Increased criminal and terrorist activities, internationally and nationally have caused major breaches of security in public places, resulting in heightened investment in crime prevention strategies including Closed Circuit Television (CCTV). However, rigorous research into CCTV's effectiveness on crimes in public places has not been undertaken. This innovative project will identify CCTV's impact on crime and key socio-legal issues of security of public places. The outcomes will contribute to an important decision-making model for local, state, and federal departments, and private sector organisations responsible for CCTV and related crime prevention technologies.
