Studies have proven that surveillance cameras do little to deter crime. For instance, The British Security Industry Authority (BSIA) estimates there are as many as 5.9 million cameras there, or one for every 11 people. Yet, despite blanket surveillance, the UK still has the highest homicide rate in all of Northern Europe. Moreover, a review by the London police department regarding the effectiveness of surveillance found, “For every 1,000 cameras in London, less than one crime is solved per year.” And furthermore, a 2005 report put out by the British government also found that surveillance cameras “produced no overall effect” on crime.
