Study: Chicago Police Cameras More Effective When Clustered
Chicago’s network of police cameras proves more effective at reducing crime in high-crime areas than low-crime areas, according to a new study.
The report, co-authored by Rajiv Shah and Jeremy Braithwaite, suggests that blue-light cameras should be concentrated in high-crime areas rather than spread throughout the city. This “hotspot” approach differs from how cameras are used in many cities.
