I AM studying for a degree in quantity surveying at Salford University.

I am carrying out research into the effectiveness of closed-circuit TV in town centres in reducing crime. To measure this, certain objectives will have to be met.

These include calculating costs for installing and maintaining the systems and obtaining the views from the public, businesses and the police force, for and against them and on how such projects could be funded.

If you have any information or opinions which may aid my research, please write to me.
