In the mall are ther survillance cameras are they effective?

Answer 1

In the mall or other busy places, surveillance cameras can be very effective. In the mall, they help security respond quickly to someone in trouble; if an offense is committed against you or others, a record of it may be on file to identify a perpetrator or as evidence to prosecute; the movements of a child separated from an adult can be monitored; if you are falsely accused of wrongdoing a record of you activities may be available to defend yourself. As with any tool, use of surveillance cameras can be abused, but the evidence of that abuse may also be recorded at the same time.
