    INTRODUCTION

    Background of the Study

    Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) cameras have become a widespread tool in


    modern society, with millions of cameras installed in public spaces, homes, and
    workplaces worldwide. Installing CCTV cameras has become a standard procedure in
    lots of areas. In addition, CCTV cameras are a crucial component of an overall security
    strategy as they help monitor and deter crime.

    In the Philippines, CCTV cameras have been installed in different cities and
    municipalities to reduce crime rates and improve law enforcement. Specifically,
    Barangay Poblacion Peñaplata a home to a diverse population of residents and
    attracts many visitors each year, CCTV cameras have been installed in public areas
    to ensure the safety of residents and visitors. The barangay economy relies on
    tourism, making it imperative to ensure the safety of visitors and residents.

    Despite the widespread use of CCTV cameras, their effectiveness in enhancing


    public safety remains a subject of debate. Some studies have shown that CCTV
    cameras can deter criminal activities, while others have found little or no effect.
    Additionally, the cost-effectiveness of CCTV cameras has been questioned as they
    can be expensive to install and maintain.

    Several studies have been conducted on the effectiveness of CCTV cameras


    in various contexts. Welsh and Farrington examined the effect of CCTV cameras on
    crime rates in public parking lots in England and Wales in a study that was published
    in 2013. According to the study, CCTV cameras can effectively lower crime in parking
    lots.
    However, a recent study opposes that CCTV cameras may not be as useful as
    first believed. Gill and colleagues looked at the effect of CCTV cameras on crime rates
    in public places in England and Wales in a study that was published in 2017. According
    to the study, other factors, like better lighting, were more effective at lowering crime
    than CCTV cameras reducing crime rates.
    To address these issues, it is essential to evaluate the effectiveness of CCTV
    cameras in Barangay Poblacion Peñaplata. This study is vital for enhancing public
    safety as one of the primary reasons for the installation of CCTV cameras. CCTV
    cameras are believed to deter criminal activities and help law enforcement authorities
    to quickly respond to any incidents. Therefore, it is important to determine whether the
    CCTV cameras in Barangay Poblacion Peñaplata are effectively achieving this goal.

    The cost-effectiveness of CCTV cameras is a critical factor in their installation


    and maintenance. CCTV cameras can be expensive to install and maintain. Therefore,
    it is crucial to evaluate their effectiveness in achieving their intended objectives. If
    CCTV cameras are not proven to be effective in enhancing public safety, then the cost
    of installing and maintaining them may not be justifiable.

    The installation of CCTV cameras can raise concerns about privacy and civil
    liberties. Studying the effectiveness of CCTV cameras in Barangay Poblacion
    Peñaplata can help to address these concerns and promote community trust in the
    use of surveillance technology. As a result, urgent action is needed to address these
    issues and to ensure the safety of residents and visitors to the island.

    This study on the effectiveness of CCTV cameras in Barangay Poblacion


    Peñaplata can provide valuable insights to policymakers and law enforcement
    authorities. The findings can be used to inform evidence-based decision-making
    regarding the installation and maintenance of CCTV cameras in the future.

    Rationale

    In many cities and towns around the world, including Barangay Poblacion
    Peaplata in the Philippines, the installation of CCTV cameras in public spaces has
    become more widespread. As part of their overall security strategy, local governments
    in the nation have made significant investments in the installation of CCTV cameras
    in public spaces in recent years. Their goals are to lower crime rates and ensure the
    safety of citizens and tourists.
    There is a growing body of research that suggests that CCTV systems can be
    effective in reducing crime in certain situations. The proposed study will specifically
    investigate the effectiveness of CCTV systems. Provide valuable insights to
    policymakers and law enforcement authorities, a focus on the impact of increased
    surveillance on offender behavior and police response time.

    According to the research by Armitage, Monckton-Smith, and Sorsby (2019),


    CCTV can be useful in reducing some types of crime in public places, such as vehicle
    theft and crime, but it is less clear how effective it is at reducing violent crime and
    disorder. The authors also pointed out that a number of elements, including the
    placement of the cameras, the caliber of the pictures taken, and the degree of
    monitoring, affect how effective CCTV is.

    In addition, the installation of CCTV significantly decreased the incidence of


    street crime in the area, according to a study by De Guzman et al. (2019) in Pasig
    City, Philippines. According to the study's findings, CCTV can be a useful tool for
    deterring crime and enhancing public safety. determined whether CCTV was effective
    in reducing incidents of street crime.

    Evaluating the effectiveness of CCTV cameras in Barangay Poblacion


    Peñaplata on Samal Island holds significance in enhancing public safety, assessing
    cost-effectiveness, and building community trust. By providing a visible deterrent to
    potential criminals, CCTV systems can make them less inclined to commit crimes such
    as theft, vandalism, and assault, thereby reducing crime rates. Additionally, the
    cameras can improve the response time of law enforcement agencies during incidents
    by providing real-time monitoring of the island's public spaces. Moreover, CCTV
    footage can aid in identifying and prosecuting suspects, facilitating law enforcement in
    building a solid case against them.

    The goal of this study is to offer valuable insights to policymakers and law
    enforcement authorities in Barangay Poblacion Peñaplata, enabling them to make
    informed decisions regarding the installation and maintenance of CCTV cameras in
    the future.
