The Richmond police chief is making an effort. I think it is an effort doomed to failure but at least he's trying. If you set up a camera in one area the activites you are looking for won't stop it will just move elsewhere and I suspect that a number of cameras will end up broken fairly quickly. While it might work as an area denial strategy (if the cameras are repaired every time they are broken) I don't think it will reduce the amount of crime.
