The installation of closed circuit television (CCTV) in a car park to deter criminal activity is an example of Situational crime prevention. This approach focuses on reducing opportunities for crime through environmental design and management, making it harder for potential criminals to carry out their activities. By increasing surveillance through CCTV, the local council aims to discourage criminal activities, thus addressing the situational factors that contribute to crime.
