  offending behaviours allowing people to intervene.

Why CCTV?

• To develop ways in which CCTV can be deployed
  inside legal and human rights constraints
• To understand acceptable CCTV and unacceptable
  recording such as speed cameras
• (I do whats acceptable - you offend!)

Why CCTV?

• Not to look at Undergrads ability to recognise
  faces from CCTV, neither live, nor via video nor
  stills
• Not to assess non-professionals ability to use
  CCTV for identification, nor understanding of
  what is seen on the screens.

Why CCTV?

• I have carried both quantitative and qualitative
  research for a variety of customer groups, and
  funding bodies.
• Interested most in the European Model of problem
  centred research, and multi-disciplinary groups
  seeking solutions together.
