Crime Science Journal 26/10/2018 Research article Expectations Versus Effects Regarding Police Surveillance Cameras in A Municipal Park Surveillance cameras have become a popular response to crime and disorder in urban parks.

A camera surveilled park was seen more positively following police camera installation even though perceptions of the effectiveness of surveillance cameras decreased.
