Abstract: The Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) technology was introduced to the UK under Home Office Crime Reduction Programme in 1998 in an attempt to reduce crime and be able to cut down the fear of crime and victimization. This research paper essentially brings out the impact and effectiveness of the CCTV technology on the society and also examines the cost to benefit ratio of the huge investments made. The data and analysis documented in this paper come from 13 out of the 684 CCTV projects undertaken in the UK. An astounding amount of ₤170 million was on offer by the government for this project, which pretty much reflects the faith and conviction that the UK had in this technology. However, the conclusions drawn from the paper don’t really imitate that the impact of CCTVs was an immaculate success.
