You're talking about both what burglars say they do and what affects the risk of being caught. Both of which have no impact on how burglars actually behave in the field. They may report the most ego-boosting thing they want to, but behave very differently. A better way is to simply compare crime rates in areas with CCTV to those without.
Studies like this one: https://journalistsresource.org/studies/government/criminal-justice/surveillance-cameras-and-crime https://journalistsresource.org/studies/government/criminal-...
That shows when CCTV is used, large, measurable drops in crime rate occurred in all circumstances tested.
