From USATODAY.com:
Another article with anecdotes of how cameras reduce crime. There really is a need for some good empirical research in the US. The article notes:
Jose Cordero, police director in East Orange (NJ), said the sensors and cameras have helped reduce crime 38% and shootings 30% so far this year compared to 2006. The city has nearly halved its murders from 17 in 2004 to nine last year, Cordero said.
