Data from three countries show that overall motor vehicle theft rates either reduced or stabilized after anti-theft device legislation and agreements became effective, and that this effect was sustained over long periods. British data suggest that these locks have had most effect on the more casual takings of motor vehicles for temporary use.

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.
