Abstract

This research examined the degree to which open-street closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems reduced crime in the vicinity of elementary schools. Information including crime dates, locations, and types around nine elementary schools in the city of Chuncheon in South Korea where the cameras had been installed was gathered and assessed. By employing the Poisson regression with "month" as the unit of analysis and controlling for the days in each month, the average monthly temperatures, and crime trends, the research results show that the CCTV installations had an impact on the reduction of total crime and serious crime. However, the same reduction effect was not observed for disorder crime. Therefore, the results of this study suggest that the employing CCTV is an effective way to control overall crime rates, especially serious crime.

이 연구는 초등학교 주변에 설치된 방범용CCTV가 범죄를 감소하는 효과가 있는지를 검증하였다. 이를 위해 춘천시에 설치된 9개의 방범용CCTV의 위치와 종류에 관한 데이터 및 춘천시의 범죄데이터가 수집되었다. 분석단위로 월 단위가 사용되었으며, 날짜, 월평균 온도, 범죄 추이를 통제한 후 포아송 회귀분석을 이용하여 분석하였다. 분석결과는 초등학교 주변에 설치된 방범용CCTV로 인해 전체범죄와 중범죄가 감소하였음을 보여주었다. 그러나 경범죄에서는 그러한 결과가 나타나지 않았다. 본 연구는 방범용CCTV가 초등학교 인근에 설치되었을 때 중범죄율과 전체범죄율을 낮추는 데 도움을 줄 수 있음을 시사한다.
