Maguire, M., and F. Wood (1998). The Impact of CCTV System in Penarth Town Centre

Results:

The overall level of crime in the area was very low, both before and after, so the results
have to be interpreted with caution. A decrease in break-ins (and possibly vandalism) to commercial premises, but little or no change in the incidence of most other offences. No change in levels of disorderly behaviour.

Results:

The programme led to a dramatic reduction in fare-dodging on trains operating during the evening and, as an unexpected outcome, during day-time hours.The results suggest that certainty of punishment works as a deterrent in a non-linear way, and that benefits from increased certainty can be maximized if checks are concentrated on critical hours and areas.

Results:

Of the 120 crimes, 74 percent (89) occurred before gating
and 26 percent (31) occurred after gating. A chi-squared test (χ2 = 28.03,df 1) indicates that alley-gates significantly (p < .01) reduced the risk of
burglary to the residences they protect.

By estimating Poisson and negative binomial regressions for a number

of CCTV and ancillary electronic monitoring equipment to PCV in
Manhattan reduced the incidence of crime in PCV.
