Abstract

CCTV is widely used as a crime prevention method globally; however, there is insufficient evidence regarding its effectiveness. This study assesses the suitability of CCTV locations and their impact on crime prevention. First, to analyze the appropriateness of the location of CCTVs, we overlaid the locations of crimes and CCTV, and found that there are many cases where CCTV were placed where crime rarely occurred. Using various cases, we verified CCTV's crime prevention effectiveness. The WDQ was applied to comprehensively analyze the impact of CCTV surveillance area and surrounding areas to determine the crime prevention effect. As a result of the analysis, CCTV was found to be effective in preventing crime. In 53.09% of the cases, there was a diffusion effect of crime control benefits in the surrounding area, which was four times more than the cases with a transfer effect. Thus, strategically installing CCTV in appropriate locations enhances crime prevention effectiveness based on spatial analysis.

국내외 대표적인 범죄예방수단으로 CCTV가 활용되고 있지만, CCTV의 범죄예방효과에 관한 검증은 부족한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 도시공간 내에서 CCTV가 방범에 유효한 위치에 설치되었는지, 범죄예방효과를 나타내고 있는지 S시를 사례로 분석해 보았다. 먼저 CCTV 위치 적절성 분석결과, 범죄발생이 없는 곳에 CCTV가 설치된 경우가 많은 것으로 나타났다. 또한 주거·상업지역 등을 포함한 275개 케이스를 구성하여 CCTV의 범죄예방효과를 검증하였다. WDQ 지수를 적용하여 CCTV 감시면적과 주변지역에 미친 영향을 종합적으로 분석하여, 최종적인 범죄예방효과를 판단하였다. 분석결과 사례지역의 CCTV 설치는 주변지역에 범죄통제이익 '확산효과'가 나타난 케이스가 53.09%로, 전이효과가 나타난 경우보다 4배 가량 많게 나타났다. CCTV 설치로 인해 범죄발생이 다른 장소로 전이되는 것보다, 도시공간적으로 범죄예방효과가 확산된 것이다. 범죄예방효과를 확대하기 위해 CCTV 설치를 위한 가이드라인 마련이 요구되며, 실시간으로 축적되는 빅데이터를 적극적으로 활용하고, 범죄정보의 DB화, 분석을 통해 방범장비 설치 및 운영체계가 마련되어야 할 것이다.
