Surveillance cameras used for crime prevention?

• A. Closed-Circuit Television
• B. Restorative Justice
• C. Multi-Agency Approach
• D. Informal Policy Making

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is recognizing a system of cameras used to deter crime and help with prevention, identification, and evidence gathering. This is known as Closed-Circuit Television. CCTV involves cameras connected to a monitoring system or recording devices, placed in public or private spaces to deter offending and assist authorities if a crime occurs. The visible presence of cameras can discourage potential offenders, and the footage can support investigations and prevent reoccurrence.

Other terms refer to different concepts not about the surveillance system itself. Restorative Justice focuses on repairing harm through mediated meetings between victims and offenders. A multi-agency approach describes collaboration among different agencies to tackle crime, not the surveillance method. Informal policy making concerns creating guidelines or policies in a loose, non-formal way.
