The use of surveillance cameras in public places is an example of situational crime prevention. This approach aims to reduce opportunities for crime by increasing the perceived risks of getting caught. Surveillance cameras serve as a deterrent to potential offenders, as they know their actions are being monitored, thus enhancing public safety. Additionally, these cameras can provide valuable evidence for law enforcement if a crime does occur.
