Network of CCTV cameras proving effective

CCTV is a useful eg of how science&tech can both help as well as inconvenience us. It has helped to ensure safety, yet comes at the expense of our privacy and freedom...Think the use of CTV to monitor maids at home.

Note:
-police's nationwide push to have cameras in every HDB block by the end of this year.

-it can be used to cut down on need for manpower an address manpower crunch in Singapore (reduce need for human traffic police, police patrollers,

-possible 3-part argument using the 'up-sized burger' method in paragraph development:
SV: CCTV can deter undesirable acts
OV: [REBUTTAL] "...camera surveillance, if effective, tends to displace the behaviour to other locations rather than change the behaviour." [remember to keep this middle layer of OV short]
SV: [COUNTER-REBUTTAL] Still, cameras can be useful as one tool among others....They can help create the habit of proper behaviour - which can then be reinforced with education about "communal norms of right and wrong...Fear of being caught by camera surveillance inculcates a habit, and if the person is educated with the norms, the camera will then subsequently remind him of the norms".

You can think of the OV as being true in the short-term, but in the long term, the SV is still valid, i.e. evaluating according to long term vs short term.
