Ninety percent of the public were positive when asked the question “What do you think about surveillance cameras in public spaces?” – 49% stat- ing that they are “very positive” and 41% “quite positive”. Furthermore, 72% of the respondents stated that there should be more cameras installed, compared to the number currently in use, while 3% stated a desire to decrease the number of cameras currently in use.
