			While British Information Commissioner Richard Thomas in 2006 uttered fears of "sleepwalking into a surveillance society" (qtd. in Malanowski 12) with law-abiding citizens becoming potential delinquents under CCTV, the cameras are often credited with identifying and tracking down criminals, as in the 1993 killing of James Bulger or the 2005 London bus bombings.

The presence of cameras does not always make people feel safer: People aware of CCTV cameras actually worry more about becoming a crime victim than those unaware of the cameras (cf. ''ibid''. x). Despite a decline in crime rates since the 1990s, fear of crime has risen and some even argue that the cameras generate a feeling of ever-present danger. Instances where increased feelings of safety were reported were found to be "statistically insignificant" (''ibid''. viii).
	~~The use~~ of ~~CCTV started in the 1960s~~, ~~but~~ was ~~limited~~ to ~~temporarily installed cameras then~~. ~~By the late 1990s~~, ~~under~~ PM [[~~Tony Blair~~]], ~~spending on~~ CCTV ~~had largely increased~~, ~~and stationary cameras been installed~~.
			"Spatial displacement of crime", i.e. avoidance of cameras, was documented to happen as well (''ibid''. vii), making unsurveilled areas more attractive to potential criminals.
