In many cities, CCTV cameras are being used in order to tackle crime. Is this a positive or a negative development?
In the past few years, it has become widely popular to install video cameras to deal with felonies.
Although

this
development has breached the privacy of individuals, the benefits of it Linking Words
such
as a reduction in the rate of violations and better security are more helpful in making the city a safer place. In my opinion, Linking Words
this
evolution is more beneficial.
The main advantage of video recorders is that it has decreased illegal acts in urban areas. The reason is, criminals are aware that they will be caught easily if they commit a crime where these systems are installed. Linking Words
For instance
, a few years ago, Karachi, which is the biggest city in Pakistan, had the highest number of crimes worldwide but since the introduction of CCTVs, the enticement to perform violations by individuals has reduced significantly. Linking Words
In addition
to Linking Words
this
, Linking Words
this
innovation has provided an extra set of eyes when no one is available, Linking Words
hence
increasing the safety of the area or shops.

On the other hand
, Linking Words
this
technology of recording people every time breaches the privacy of people. Once these are put in place, they start recording constantly until the memory card has reached its full potential. Linking Words
As a result
, it raises concerns for individuals who culturally keep their women away from the eyes of men and are recorded unknowingly. Linking Words
For instance
, Muslims in Pakistan are very considerate of showing their wives to the Public, but almost every shop, these days, has video recorders and Linking Words
therefore
their security is breached.
In conclusion, these cameras have become highly useful to deal with felonies in recent times. While it interferes with the privacy of a person, the other outcomes Linking Words
such
as fewer crimes and the safety of the city are superior. Linking Words
Thus
, I'm inclined to believe that Linking Words
this
is a positive development.Linking Words
