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.

项目摘要 州立法和地方条例越来越多地要求零售机构安装闭路 电视系统（CCTV）系统，以降低抢劫和抢劫相关的员工伤害的风险。但是，几乎没有 了解CCTV系统在减少零售抢劫方面的有效性，甚至更少知道 这些系统比较便宜的基于证据的预防方法增加了好处。 拟议项目的长期目标是告知CCTV系统政策的制定 在零售环境中实施，以减少抢劫和抢劫相关的暴力。总体 目的是了解CCTV系统在预防零售抢劫和抢劫相关的作用 员工受伤。拟议的项目建立在现有的NIOSH资助研究的基础上，警察局 预防犯罪专家正在传播基于证据的抢劫和暴力预防计划 他们的商业社区（授予＃：R01 OH009527）。拟议项目的具体目的是： 1。描述零售环境中明显的CCTV系统的存在如何影响决策 - 使个人考虑抢劫的过程， 2。描述零售业务中安装的CCTV系统与安全行业标准相比 由国际身份识别协会成像科学工作组开发 技术和 3。检查闭路电视系统在减少零售中抢劫和抢劫相关的暴力方面的有效性 企业超出了基于证据的计划已经提供的企业。 AIM 1将对最近从加利福尼亚部门假释的300个人进行自我管理调查 矫正和康复，并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的工具，并由预防犯罪专家完成 目前向企业传播基于证据的建议。 AIM 3将使用潜在的队列 设计以检查CCTV系统与抢劫和抢劫相关的员工伤害之间的关联 在一年内的利率，控制现有循证策略的业务实施。 完成这些目标将为CCTV系统的安装和操作提供建议 在全面的抢劫和预防暴力计划的背景下，将导致 有关业务运营商如何改善CCTV系统以满足安全行业指南的建议。 拟议项目的贡献很重要，因为政策制定者正在制定立法 不受对CCTV系统有效性的充分评估和零售设置类型的支持 可能会从中获得最大收益。
