O knihe

CCTVs are among human discoveries to reckon with in the direction of crime prevention. Uganda like any developing country has been at the forefront of CCTVs' installation. This has been due to increasing crime. Between 2015 and 2016, crime increased from 32,220 to 33419 in Kampala Metropolitan alone. Such an increase can not be taken lightly by a responsible government. Pilot CCTVs' installations are seen during the Common Wealth Meeting in Kampala in 2007 to help in monitoring security. Since then, several presidential initiatives have been visible in this area with a hope of covering all major towns though with financial constraints. Using a phenomenological analysis, the study established that indeed CCTVs led to a considerable reduction in crime when utilised well alongside physical security and the challenges that arouse could be surmounted if the government is in possession of a well designed CCTVs' policy framework. Overall, the study reveals that CCTVs are a good weapon for security and the general populace in crime prevention.
