Interesting article about how streetlights have more effect than cameras.

"But a study of the cameras' effect on crime found that while they "had a significant desirable effect on crime," the cameras reduced offenses overall by just 4 percent. "

A separate survey of street lighting found that better, brighter lighting cut overall crime by 20 percent. "


Sometimes I am surprised at just how valuable having light in the right place is...
