'The Big Question': Analyse af CCTV-kameraer

CCTV cameras are being used world wide, but the UK is the home of CCTV cameras. In England there is over 4 million cameras installed, and should solve a lot of crime, but does it? Fever than one crime in 30 is solved trough CCTV.

This text can be related to an article, because the text asks questions to a person, a professor or a chief inspector, a man who know something about the subject. There are 8 questions in where there is an answer to every question. We get introduced to the speaker who is Detective Chief Inspector Mick Neville, who is for and against CCTV, also an amount of people shows up in the article and tells us something important about CCTV and some details, so the reader get some basic information. The report starts with a good question “Why are we asking this now?” This is a good question, because we get some information of why we actually first asks now and not 15 years ago where the government began to produce the CCTV, afterwards he begins to ask more specifically about CCTV and the function of the cameras and how it works in the society.

CCTV does that really solves crimes? Yes and no. In this article we get many kind of arguments from both perspectives. Chief inspector Neville means that the kit is not being used properly and that is a big problem because it is really expensive. The other big problems with the cameras are, that they either pointing the wrong way or there are no film in the cameras. If the government or those who are in charge of the cameras was more accurate, then they maybe could solve more crimes. The big problem is actually that those who are in charge do not take action and do not have the cameras running with film in it or pointing the right way. It is important in servant ways to have our society monitored because of all this crime we are exposed to in our days. The solution is not for the police to watch the cameras. Unlike an officer walking the street, cameras only look in particular directions at particular locations and the problem is that criminals know this, and can easily just by move their crimes to someplace not watched by a camera and easier get away with it.
