secure: it means the police will have more crimes on videotape. Genuine security means the reduction of the incidence of crime, not the catching of more criminals. CCTV installation will not reduce crime, it will drive criminals elsewhere, or, given the frightening con­ fidence they display, they will simply mask up and ignore the cameras. An attack on a person or car in Lowergate car park will not be prevented, there will just be a video as well as the vic­ tim's pain. The law's technology increasingly
