Isn’t that kind of how it works? Safety is a “no broken windows” problem. People who commit crimes need to be caught and punished at a very high rate. This basically requires surveillance, no?
Surveillance doesn’t guarantee safety. But what is the counter proposal on how to turn a large, unsafe location into a safe one?
I expect downvotes for this. But seriously. What do you propose? Is surveillance not exactly how countries like the UK and Singapore provide safety? Can anyone cite an example of a “safety turnaround” not based on surveillance?
Believe you me I wish that weren’t the case! Someone show me the alternative, please!
- warkdarrior 3y agoThe problem with the current approach is that it collects data and monitors the movement of everyone present, include innocent people. The data is centrally gathered and used for privacy violating purposes. A better option would be to decentralize the monitoring and enforcement. Autonomous robots with cameras and guns could be installed everywhere - - they'd process all video locally, by themselves, and could take action right away. This way privacy is not violated.
- forrestthewoods 3y ago> Autonomous robots with cameras and guns Yikes! That’s gonna violate something alright.
- nanocode 3y ago>Autonomous robots with cameras and guns could be installed everywhere At this point I'm not even sure if you're sarcastic. Or are you an agent of the upcoming robot uprising? Who knows!

- petermcneeley 3y ago> This basically requires surveillance, no? No offense but when were you born? Surveillance technology is relatively modern. What do you think the world look liked 50 years ago? 100?
- forrestthewoods 3y agoMore violent and dangerous than today, obviously.
- petermcneeley 3y agoNot sure that that is obvious and I am not sure the data supports that conclusion.
- ethanwillis 3y agoYou can't break windows if there are no windows to break. It sounds like a joke but actually environment does affect crime rate and types of crime. Here's one such document that talks about it: https://www.huduser.gov/periodicals/cityscpe/vol2num1/notes.pdf https://www.huduser.gov/periodicals/cityscpe/vol2num1/notes....
- II2II 3y agoIt likely depends upon the type of crime you are trying to prevent. If you are trying to prevent crimes where the perpetrator assumes there will be no witnesses, then I can see how surveilance could[1] be effective. If you are talking about a mass shooting, a crime where the perpetrator must assume there will be witness and they will be caught (short of suicide, which seems to be common in these scenarios, then it is hard to see how surveilance will be effective. [1] I say could because it probably involves the mental state of the person commiting the crime.
