People tend to behave if they know they are being watched.
Yeah it's not going to stop crime 100%, but I bet you it will (and it has) help reduce crime by double digit percentages.
replyLook at places where there are CCTV cameras all over, there is very little crime there compared to the United States. I won't use China as an example because then you are going to attack me for saying it's an authoritarian state. In that case I will use democratic examples: Taiwan, South Korea, Singapore.

replyAt long last, we have created the Torment Nexus from classic sci-fi novel Don't Create The Torment Nexus...
Lets take the current example of the famous kidnapping of the TV anchor's mother in AZ for example.
replyIf Arizona was blanketed in CCTVs, do you think this kidnapping would have happened?
And if it still did happen, I'm 100% sure the suspects would have been caught by now (11th+ day since the disappearance now).
only if the cameras exist but the perpetrators don't know that they exist. If they know they are being watched on camera it doesn't take a genius to realize you just need to switch cars out of sight. And that is assuming they didn't do that already anyways.
