When a criminal is in a position where he can catch a victim in complete privacy, where no one can see them, there is a good chance that he will commit a crime . However, if he knew there were surveillance cameras everywhere he went, he is very unlikely to commit the crime. He may start to think, "I'm going to get caught if I commit this crime, so I shouldn't do it." » A Connecticut town installed several security cameras in a neighborhood that was beginning to experience a high number of crimes and murders. They were able to finance all the cameras through grants. A police officer present on the scene was quick to express his opinion. “Cameras have a psychological effect: people feel safer. » Many city residents supported the idea of ​​surveillance cameras, knowing that it would reduce crime in neighborhoods. According to Jason Roche, “the feeling of being observed has a profound effect on human psychology.” Roche, a writer for the Manhattan Daily Collegian, says the feeling of being watched can only improve human behavior. This proliferates a sense of tension and nervousness, pushing citizens to be on their best behavior lest they be caught doing something wrong. Gregory Suhr, a California police officer, said that crime in San Francisco decreased by thirty percent after the cameras were installed. It has also helped solve many criminal cases. He addresses the privacy argument and claims that cameras are all placed in public places and are never used outside of public space.
