Abstract

In August 2009, a closed-circuit television (CCTV) pilot project commenced at the Scott Road Skytrain Station Park and Ride in Surrey, BC. This article is an evaluation of the CCTV system with respect to its ability to reduce vehicle-related crime and fear of crime at the pilot site. Using results of victimization surveys, the evaluation considers the trends of vehicle-related crimes over 2 years at the car park. Although the reductions in vehicle-related crime are large enough in magnitude to conclude that the CCTV system was effective, without further investigation it is difficult to quantify the decrease. Significant reductions in fear of crime are also identified, but these reductions vary by demographic factors.
