CONTACT:Stephen Lewis
DESCRIPTION:Although CCTV was heralded as something of a silver bullet in 
 the fight against crime (and by two Governments) scholarly research has qu
 estioned the extent to which it 'works'. Martin Gill led the Home Office n
 ational evaluation on CCTV and has subsequently conducted more research wi
 th CCTV schemes across the country. In this talk he will outline the findi
 ngs from the national evalaution and assess the views of the public\, sche
 me workers and offenders' perspectives (including showing film clips of of
 fenders talking at crime scenes) to show just why CCTV has not worked out 
 as many considered. Martin will relate these findings to the current devel
 opment of a national strategy.
