Abstract
This report evaluates 2 Closed Circuit Television Camera (CCTV) projects implemented in parking areas. Police recorded crime statistics were used to measure changes in levels of crime in the target areas and in comparable areas before and after the CCTVs were installed. Users' attitude surveys were conducted which covered awareness of CCTV, change in fear of crime, perceived effectiveness of CCTV, concern about privacy, support for CCTV and so on. As a result, both of the projects showed a reduction in crime in the target area compared with the comparable area and spatial displacement did not occur. Respondents were likely to think that crime got lower following installation of CCTVs and the level of support of CCTV was high, but about 15% of them expressed concern about privacy in both of the projects.
