Results:
Total crime in CCTV area decreased during first 6 mos after implementation but increased 30 percent in post two year period. Violent crime increased 100 percent while burglary and shoplifting decreased 25 and 22 percent, respectively. Increase attributed to 'magnification effect' meaning camera was capturing more violent incidents that perhaps were taking place unnoticed before.
