Effectiveness of CCTV Systems in Reducing Retail Robbery Rates and Employee Injur

项目总结 州立法和地方法令越来越多地要求零售企业安装闭路电视 电视闭路电视(CCTV)系统可降低抢劫和抢劫相关员工受伤的风险。然而，几乎没有什么是 人们知道闭路电视系统在减少零售抢劫方面的有效性，而对 与成本较低的循证预防方法相比，这些系统增加了好处。 拟议项目的长期目标是为闭路电视系统的政策发展提供信息 在零售环境中实施，以减少抢劫和与抢劫有关的暴力。整体而言 目的是了解闭路电视系统在预防零售抢劫和与抢劫有关的案件中的作用 员工受伤。拟议的项目建立在NIOSH资助的一项现有研究的基础上，其中警察局 预防犯罪专家正在传播一项基于证据的抢劫和暴力预防方案 他们的企业界(赠款编号：R01 OH009527)。拟议项目的具体目标是： 1.描述零售环境中公开的闭路电视系统如何影响决策- 使个人考虑抢劫的过程， 2.描述安装在零售企业的闭路电视系统与安全行业标准的比较 由国际身份识别协会的成像科学工作组开发 技术，以及 3.审查闭路电视系统在减少零售业抢劫和与抢劫有关的暴力方面的有效性 在循证计划已经提供的基础上开展业务。 AIM 1将使用一项对300名最近从加州移民局假释的个人进行的自我管理调查 改过自新并被释放到奥克斯纳德市(加利福尼亚州)。AIM 2将使用数据收集 由私人安全顾问开发并由预防犯罪专家完成的工具 目前正在向企业传播基于证据的建议。目标3将使用一个预期的队列 检查闭路电视系统与抢劫和与抢劫有关的员工伤害之间的关联的设计 一年期间的利率，控制现有基于证据的战略的业务实施。 实现这些目标将导致对闭路电视系统的安装和运行提出建议 在全面预防抢劫和暴力方案的范围内，并将导致 建议企业运营商如何改进闭路电视系统，以满足安全行业的指导方针。 拟议项目的贡献是巨大的，因为政策制定者正在制定立法， 没有充分评估闭路电视系统的有效性和零售环境的类型 可能会从中获益最多。

PROJECT SUMMARY State legislation and local ordinances are increasingly requiring retail establishments to install closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems to reduce the risk of robbery and robbery-related employee injury. However, little is known about the effectiveness of CCTV systems in reducing retail robbery, and even less is known about the added benefit of these systems over less expensive evidence-based prevention approaches. The long-term goal of the proposed project is to inform the development of policies for CCTV system implementation in retail environments for the reduction of robbery and robbery-related violence. The overall objective is to understand the role of CCTV systems in the prevention of retail robbery and robbery-related employee injury. The proposed project builds on an existing NIOSH-funded study, where police department crime prevention specialists are disseminating an evidence-based robbery and violence prevention program in their business communities (Grant #: R01 OH009527). The specific aims of the proposed project are to: 1. Describe how the presence of an overt CCTV system in the retail environment affects the decision- making process of individuals considering a robbery, 2. Describe how CCTV systems installed in retail businesses compare with security industry standards developed by the International Association for Identification's Scientific Working Group on Imaging Technology, and 3. Examine the effectiveness of CCTV systems in reducing robbery and robbery-related violence in retail businesses above what evidence-based programs already provide. Aim 1 will use a self-administered survey of 300 individuals recently paroled from the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation and released into the city of Oxnard (California). Aim 2 will use a data collection instrument developed by private security consultants and completed by the crime prevention specialists currently disseminating evidence-based recommendations to businesses. Aim 3 will use a prospective cohort design to examine the association between CCTV systems and robbery and robbery-related employee injury rates over a one-year period, controlling for business implementation of existing evidence-based strategies. Accomplishing these aims will result in recommendations for the installation and operation of CCTV systems within the context of a comprehensive robbery and violence prevention program and will result in recommendations for how business operators can improve CCTV systems to meet security industry guidelines. The contribution of the proposed project is significant because policymakers are developing legislation that is not backed by adequate evaluation of the effectiveness of CCTV systems and the types of retail settings that may gain the most from them.
