In many cities, security measures, such as the use of video cameras in public places, are being increased in order to reduce crime, but some people believe that these measures restrict our individual freedom. Do the benefits of increased security outweigh the drawbacks?
In today's contemporary era, in numerous cities, an increasing number of
security
cameras are used to control the crime
rate
. However
, some people think it violates their freedom but I think it leads to many benefits as compared to demerits.
The first
benefit of security
cameras is it enforces proper traceability of the criminals. When criminals involved in a crime
are recorded on camera, it makes it easy for the local police to trace them and their activities. Moreover
, the quality of resolution on such
cameras is so high that it leads to no confusion in terms of detecting the criminal. As a result
, when these notorious offenders are put behind the bars the rate
of crime
declines significantly. For instance
, because of the sophisticated security
systems
in high-risk areas like banks and ATMs, the number of criminal activities worldwide has plummeted.
There are, however
, some individuals who think that these security
measures breach their privacy and freedom. They think all their movements are captured on camera and are monitored regularly. Nevertheless
, in my opinion, if they are not doing any immoral activity they should not be concerned about it. Instead
, these security
devices are put in place to record the scene in case of an offence. Because of these innovative systems
, the crime
rate
is under control as offenders are scared of being caught and bearing further
consequences. For example
, a survey mentioned that because of constant innovations in security
systems
, the rate
of crime
is declining every day.
In conclusion, the benefits of having modern security
systems
in keeping a check on illegal activities are indeed too great to ignore. It is very important to minimise crime
in the cities in order to live a safe and happy life.Submitted by abhaygill003 on
