Full textMatch analysis is a recent academic research field in which exploratory investigations still predominate. One can see that in literature by the broad range of adopted approaches. In this work is presented a methodology grounded in the representation of oppositional relation status to the study of ball circulation in different situations of offensive phase. This representation considered essential parameters of match situations: spatial, temporal and technical-tactical conditions of offensive actions. The main spatial reference adopted was the concept of space of defensive occupation (SDO). The situations dynamics was captured trough the temporal ordering of actions allowing the recognition of chains of offensive actions spacetemporally structured in form of patterns. These patterns were pre-conceived to encompass the possible different ways of ball circulation in relation to the SDO. An analysis of ball circulation characteristics in the offensive phase of very high level European teams was conducted to explore the potentialities and limitations of this methodology

Full textThe aim of this study is to explore different forms of unpleasant design in public and semi-public spaces and what potential consequences such design may have on different social groups. The results are based on focused observations of the physical designs themselves, primarily in Gothenburg, Sweden, in triangulation with text analysis of official documentations of land use and zoning plans. The findings indicate that a variety of designs were used throughout the observed public and semi-public spaces, some of which can be seen as unpleasant. Most of the observed seating options were located within privatised businesses, signalling the need to be a consumer to use these semi-public spaces. Semi-public spaces that are inaccessible during the night as well as anti-skate obstacles were other observed designs that targeted a certain group or behaviour. Four social groups were found to be more of a target or sufferer of the designs: the homeless, people with disabilities, the destitute, and skateboarders. In contradiction to previous research a substantial amount of the observed designs can be perceived as inclusive rather than only exclusionary.

In contemporary Western society, electronic devices are becoming so prevalent that many people find themselves surrounded by technologies they find frustrating or annoying. The electronics industry has little incentive to address this complaint; I designed two counter-technologies to help people defend their personal space from unwanted electronic intrusion. Both devices were designed and prototyped with reference to the culture-jamming "Design Noir" philosophy. The first is a pair of glasses that darken whenever a television is in view. The second is low- power RF jammer capable of preventing cell phones or similarly intrusive wireless devices from operating within a user's personal space. By building functional prototypes that reflect equal consideration of technical and social issues, I identify three attributes of Noir products: Personal empowerment, participation in a critical discourse, and subversion.

Full textDefensible space aims to provide residents with the power to control their residential environment, so that they will defend it against any threat. While the literature on defensible space is prolific, and while its principles are still being adapted for different contexts across the world, critiques of defensible space indicate that its validity for different contexts is questionable and necessitates further exploration. This paper explores how the implementation of defensible space principles in the Violence Prevention through Urban Upgrading (VPUU) safe node area of Harare, Khayelitsha has reduced crime rates and anti-social behaviour. Furthermore, it also aims to provide planners with knowledge regarding VPUU's prescription to defensible space principles. The research was conducted primarily through the use of the case study method, and a critical discourse analysis of VPUU's urban design principles. Harare's crime statistics were analysed through the use of mixed methods, in order to gain an understanding of how crime has been affected in the area. Interviews with locals from Harare provided insight on how residents perceived safety in their area after VPUU's intervention. Observations were also made in order to understand how the intervention area functions and how people use it. Cognitive mapping was done with primary school children to ascertain their perceptions of safety in Harare. The research findings revealed that the implementation of defensible space principles in Harare has improved the quality of public space, but it has not reduced crime rates or anti-social behaviour. Moreover, the main finding revealed that crime was not solely a result of design flaws, but rather as a result of the social conditions in the neighbourhood. As a result, the main recommendation was that crime prevention strategies should not focus solely on design but should address the social conditions present. The researcher argues that the implementation of defensible space principles should be context-driven, because what works in one context will not necessarily work in another.

Full textThis research discusses public policies related to the spatial organization of defense production as a public good with industrial dimensions. Our framework enables to incorporate the spatial factor in modeling such a production. How to integrate geographical space in defense economics? How does space structure the organization of defense production? Conversely, how does defense production structure space? Our research deals with the case of France and more particularly with the Maintenance Repair and Overhaul (MRO) of French defense equipment. In France, according to the Direction Générale de l’Armement, MRO costs represent between 35% and 50% of the whole life cycle cost of defense equipment. In 2012, they accounted for about 15% of total French defense budget. Optimizing MRO costs has become a top priority issue since the beginning of the 1990s. Such costs are still of concern during the 2010-2014 period, since maintenance equipment expenditures are rising about 8.7% on average. A good management of MRO aims at keeping – or improving – the availability of defense equipment while at the same time reducing MRO costs. With this objective and considering the evolution of the sizes of army sections and their equipment, the spatial organization of MRO appears as a structuring dimension from both static and dynamic perspectives. The dissertation is organized in four chapters: Chapter I is a literature review that legitimates the methodological approach adopted in this research. We survey the regional economics literature that has mainly focused on the location of defense activities within their surrounding economic environment. Chapter II examines the contemporary transformations in French defense (doctrine, budget and size of the army) in order to identify the geographic consequences of such changes. Chapter III deals with the evolution of MRO since the end of the Cold War. We study the evolution of the availability of military platforms, the MRO costs evolution and the main reforms that the French State put in place to improve the management of MRO. Chapter IV discusses the optimal spatial organization of defense MRO. Our model suggests that space provides an opportunity to optimize MRO cost. However, it remains a constraint that is hard to cope with, because of transport costs but also due to the military nature of MRO. We model a strategic constraint with an Operational Social Cost.This constraint takes into account the intrinsic specificities of military activities (e.g. availability of military platforms, strategic imposed locations). It allows us to underline and to discuss the balance of forces between agglomeration and dispersion in the production of defense MRO. The main contribution of this research is to incorporate space in modeling defense production. We defend the idea that the organization of defense production cannot be understood without taking space into account. Optimizing the defense effort is based on a spatial dimension inherent to the concept of defense itself and the territory that has to be defended. As a result, economic research about optimality in the spatial organization of defense should fit in a spatial framework. Beyond MRO matters, our methodology can be applied to other dimensions of defense and more particularly in a multinational framework with two countries, several countries or within an alliance

Full textThe Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) is developing new Theater Missile Defense (TMD) and National Missile Defense (NMD) weapon systems to defend against the expanding ballistic missile threat. In the arms control arena, theater ballistic missile threats have been defined to include systems with reentry velocities up to five kilometers per second and strategic ballistic missile threats have reentry velocities that exceed five kilometers per second. The development and testing of TMD systems such as the Army Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) and the Navy Area Theater Ballistic Missile Defense (TBMD) Lower Tier, and NMD systems such as the Army Exoatmospheric Kill Vehicle and the Army Ground-Based Radar, pose exceptional challenges that stem from extreme acquisition range and high telemetry data transfer rates. Potential Central Pacific range locations include U.S. Army Kwajalien Atoll/Kwajalein Missile Range (USAKA/KMR) and the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) with target launches from Vandenberg Air Force Base, Wake Island, Aur Atoll, Johnston Island, and, possibly, an airborne platform. Safety considerations for remote target launches dictate utilization of high-data-rate, on-board instrumentation; technical performance measurement dictates transmission of focal plane array data; and operational requirements dictate intercepts at exoatmospheric altitudes and long slant ranges. The high gain, high data rate, telemetry acquisition requirements, coupled with loss of the upper S-band spectrum, may require innovative approaches to minimize electronic noise, maximize telemetry system gain, and fully utilize the limited S-band telemetry spectrum. The paper will address the emerging requirements and will explore the telemetry design trade space.

Full textThe Ballistic Missile Defense Organization (BMDO) is developing new Theater Missile Defense (TMD) weapon systems to defend against the rapidly expanding ballistic missile threat. The tactical ballistic missile threats include systems with range capabilities greater than 1000 kilometers. The development and testing of systems such as the Patriot Advanced Capability 3 (PAC-3), the Theater High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD), Navy Area Defense, and the System Integration Tests (SIT) to address the interoperability of this family of systems, will require the development of the Transportable Range Augmentation and Control System for Multiple Shot Engagements (TRACS - MSE). Congress has mandated that these systems be tested in multiple simultaneous engagements. These systems will be tested at several ranges to meet all the developmental and operational testers' needs. Potential range locations include White Sands Missile Range (WSMR), Kwajalein Missile Range (KMR), the Pacific Missile Range Facility (PMRF) and the Gulf Range at Eglin Air Force Base. Due to the long distances separating the target launch site and the interceptor site, the TRACS - MSE will be required at multiple sites for each range used. To be cost effective, transportable systems should be developed to augment existing capabilities. Advances in Global Positioning System (GPS) technology and high data rate receivers make telemetry based solutions attractive. This article will address the requirements for range safety, for Time, Space, Position Information (TSPI) collection and processing requirements to support a TRACS - MSE capability.

The more we understand about how people’s bodies and their energies act when they feel threatened, the better we can find help for folks who struggle with anxiety, trauma or other challenging conditions. This research uses a theoretical model called the defense cascade to explore how people respond mentally and physically to threatening situations. Nineteen undergraduates went through a virtual reality (VR) experience that was designed to feel threatening while their body and its energy systems were measured. A scale was introduced called the Subjective Units of Distress Scale (SUDS) and was used to help the researchers understand how distressed people felt while they were in the VR experience. Averaged SUDS reports suggested that the VR stimulus was experienced as threatening for most participants, but their body response patterns did not fit those predicted by the defense cascade. Participants whose questionnaire responses suggested they were not anxiety-prone or traumatized, tended to show bodily activation that uncoupled their two autonomic bodily systems during a baseline period before the threatening stimulus. However, their autonomic responses during the stimulus period varied. Nearly all participants showed either both autonomic systems acting together or only one system acting in a mutually exclusive way to the other system during the stimulus period. This was the case for most participants except those reporting the most trauma involving dissociative experiences. This latter group mostly showed uncoupled autonomic bodily patterns.

Full textThis paper reviews the performance requirements that provided the baseline for development of the onboard data system, RF transmission system, and ground segment receiving system of the Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX) spacecraft. The onboard Command and Data Handling (C&DH) System was designed to support the high data outputs of the three imaging sensor systems onboard the spacecraft and the requirement for large volumes of data storage. Because of the high data rates, it was necessary to construct a dedicated X-band ground receiver system at The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL) and implement a tape recorder system for recording and downlinking sensor and spacecraft data. The system uses two onboard tape recorders to provide redundancy and backup capabilities. The storage capability of each tape recorder is 54 gigabits. The MSX C&DH System can record data at 25 Mbps or 5 Mbps. To meet the redundancy requirements of the high-priority experiments, the data can also be recorded in parallel on both tape recorders. To provide longer onboard recording, the data can also be recorded serially on the two recorders. The reproduce (playback) mode is at 25 Mbps. A unique requirement of the C&DH System is to multiplex and commutate the different output rates of the sensors and housekeeping signals into a common data stream for recording. The system also supports 1-Mbps real-time sensor data and 16-kbps real-time housekeeping data transmission to the dedicated ground site and through the U.S. Air Force Satellite Control Network ground stations. The primary ground receiving site for the telemetry is the MSX Tracking System (MTS) at APL. A dedicated 10-m X-band antenna is used to track the satellite during overhead passes and acquire the 25-Mbps telemetry downlinks, along with the 1-Mbps and 16-kbps real-time transmissions. This paper discusses some of the key technology trade-offs that were made in the design of the system to meet requirements for reliability, performance, and development schedule. It also presents some of the lessons learned during development and the impact these lessons will have on development of future systems.

Esta pesquisa versa sobre as novas requisições postas aos assistentes sociais da Aeronáutica, abordando, particularmente, os impactos para o serviço social, ao considerar a relação entre as transformações que vem sendo efetivadas no universo do trabalho dos militares e as políticas de defesa nacional, aprovadas nos anos 2000. Buscou dar visibilidade às respostas, construídas pela profissão, a partir de um ponto ainda não analisado, que se relaciona à atuação dos assistentes sociais nas missões operacionais das Forças Armadas. O trabalho partiu de uma revisão bibliográfica sobre as atuais políticas de defesa nacional e, em especial, daquelas de caráter subsidiário, bem como do exame das principais normas técnicas que regulamentam a atuação profissional. Para viabilizar tal estudo, foi realizada uma pesquisa com enfoque qualitativo, visando analisar o trabalho profissional dos assistentes sociais e as requisições do campo operacional. Dessa forma, recorreu-se a três eixos, a saber: Trabalhadores militares e os desafios do campo operacional subsidiário; Missões Subsidiárias: o olhar do Serviço Social e a construção do seu lugar; Serviço Social e a legitimação do espaço socio-ocupacional nas missões da Força Aérea Brasileira, envolvendo organizações militares do Comando da Aeronáutica nas áreas de assistência social, saúde, controle do espaço aéreo, logística operacional e aviação, de todo o país. Os resultados da pesquisa demonstram que o cenário de intensas transformações e novas requisições para a profissão, na Aeronáutica, é acompanhado por uma condição de trabalho, na maioria dos casos, marcada pelo caráter de instabilidade no serviço militar. Outro ponto sinalizado centra-se nos impactos para a profissão, oriundos, de um lado, pelas transformações em curso no mundo do trabalho e, de outro, das novas requisições que acompanham as atuais políticas de defesa nacional. Os resultados da pesquisa também indicam o caráter pontual e fragmentado das ações do serviço social no âmbito das missões subsidiárias. Tal questão é justificada pela própria lógica normativa, a qual prevê a transitoriedade nas operações militares dessa natureza, tendo em vista não ser essa a missão constitucional das Forças Armadas. A partir dos dados levantados, esta tese defende a necessidade de conhecimento, por parte da profissão, sobre as políticas de defesa nacional e, em particular, do emprego atual das missões subsidiárias, ao considerar que a invisibilidade desta área dificulta investimentos em estudos sobre o espaço socio-ocupacional das Forças Armadas, além de manter a distância entre as ações e possibilidades deste campo com o projeto ético-político do Serviço Social.
This research deals with the new requests made to Aeronautics social workers. Addressing, in particular, the impacts to the social work, considering the relationship between the transformations that have been made in the universe of military work and defense policies of Brazil, approved in the 2000s. It sought to give visibility to the answers, built by the profession, from a point not yet analyzed, which is related to the work of social workers in the operational missions of the Armed Forces. The work started with a bibliographical review on the current national defense policies, and especially those of a subsidiary nature, as well as the examination of the main technical norms that regulate the professional performance. To make this study viable, a qualitative research was carried out, aiming to analyze the professional work of social workers and the requisitions of the operational field. In this way, three axes were used, namely: Military workers and the challenges of the subsidiary operational field; Subsidiary Missions: the look of Social Service and the construction of its place; Social Service and the legitimation of the socio-occupational space in the missions of the Brazilian Air Force, involving military organizations of the Aeronautics Command in the areas of social assistance, health, airspace control, operational logistics and aviation, throughout the country. The results of the research demonstrate that the scenario of intense transformations and new requisitions for the profession, in the Aeronautics, is accompanied by a work condition, in most cases, marked by the instability character in the military service. Another signaled point focuses on the impacts to the profession, originating, on the one hand, by the ongoing transformations in the world of work and, on the other hand, the new requisitions that accompany current national defense policies. The results of the research also indicate the punctual and fragmented nature of social work actions within the scope of subsidiary missions. This issue is justified by the normative logic itself, which provides for transitoriness in military operations of this nature, since this is not the constitutional mission of the Armed Forces. Based on the data collected, this thesis argues the need for the profession to know about national defense policies and, in particular, the current use of subsidiary missions, considering that the invisibility of this area makes it difficult to invest in studies on the socio-occupational space of the Armed Forces, besides maintaining the distance between the actions and possibilities of this field with the ethical-political project of the Social Work.

Full textThis thesis is a limited determination of the most cost effective method of acquiring Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) cognizance initial outfitting material for new construction ships. The study is restricted to Contractor Furnished Material (CFM) required to support Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE) contained in the Hull, Mechanical, Electrical, Ordnance and Electronics (HMEO&E) Coordinated Shipboard Allowance List (COSAL). Three alternative methods of procuring the material are analyzed for cost effectiveness: (1) the shipbuilder procures the material commercially, (2) the shipbuilder is allowed access to the Federal Supply System (FSS) and requisitions the material, (3) the Naval Supervising Agency (NSA) requisitions the material from the FSS in which case it becomes Government Furnished Material (GFM). Material availability using each of the alternatives is also examined.

Full textThis paper is a follow-up study of the 2012 Malmö Neighbourhood Survey (Malmö Områdesundersökning 2012), focusing more closely on the districts Annelund and Södervärn. The respondents of these districts reported in Malmö Neighbourhood Survey that they felt predominantly safe or partly safe in their neighbourhood, despite several conditions that correlate with high fear of crime. In this paper we have aimed to qualitatively study, with observation studies and interviews with key informants, underlying mechanisms that explains the respondents predominant neighbourhood safety.The paper contains a detailed description of the phenomenon "fear of crime" and a review of factors that through research have been proven to affect the level of fear of crime.The results in this study shows that the predominant safety in Annelund and Södervärn is due to the districts presence to meeting-points, where residents are given the opportunity to establish commonly defined informal rules of conduct and acceptable behaviour. The districts have by different reasons a vivid throughflow of people that naturally surveil the districts streets and places and we found good opportunities for the residents to naturally surveil their immediate housing environment owing to the residential buildings physical structure. We concluded that Annelund has more visible delineations between the residents private areas and the public areas, but the residents feeling of belonging to their neighbourhood were stronger in Södervärn and it's surrounding districts. The districts lighting gave good surveillance opportunities, daytime and night-time, on walking paths, around residential buildings and alike. The residents that experienced the least fear of crime (or highest levels of safety) had lived in the neighbourhood for a long time and in the nearest area we found community youth centers, which have positively affected Annelund and Södervärns neighbourhood safety.

Abstract The study of k-in-a-row games has produced a number of interesting results,and one of its sub-category Connect6 proposed in 2005 has been of particular interest. Since 2006, Connect6 has been included as one of the major com- petition in the ICGA Computer Olympiad, and is gaining more popularity every year. In this thesis, we briefly review current methods applied in Connect6 and related results. A defensive strategy is introduced along with a more strategically sensitive evaluation scheme. Threat-space search is an important algorithm applied in Connect6, some techniques for gaining more efficiency and accuracy will be introduced. The integration of the defensive strategy and threat-space search will also be investigated. The combination of the defensive strategy and threat-space search is proved to be effective, and is able to compete with other top Connect6 programs. The program Kagami, which was implemented with these methods, won the fourth place in the 14th Computer Olympiads.

The mind is the thought matrix of the subjective inner world. Not only does it record our thoughts, emotions, feelings, and behaviors in everyday life, it supports our personal consciousness, as well as the embodiment of artistic creativity. Art creations are a spiritual manifestation of self-reconcile. The creator’s thoughts and mind are on full display in their works, and these works contribute to the creator’s self-awareness and growth. This dissertation examines the psychoanalytic theory of defense mechanisms and how it is introduced to create an even more realistic consciousness called the “defensive psychological space,” a positive psychological construct the author builds as a way to engage in and defend against various challenges and crises in life. This dissertation is based on three research methods. (1) The Historical Research Method examines the academic principles and purposes of creation of art works through historical research. The three historical eras of art — initial , intermediate and present — will be studied to understand the original creation technique derived from this method. (2) The Reconstructive Method involves collecting, analyzing and copying art works that inspire the author to explore the fundamental elements that led to such creations. A database of the elements will be established to assist the author in creating his own art symbols. (3) The Qualitative Thinking Method investigates the structure of art works through quality thinking. The author will use this method in his own works through repeated adjustments, amendments, and revisions. Chapter 1 of the dissertation explores the motivation, purpose, scope, and definition of this research. Chapter 2 discusses the academic groundings of artistic creations that stem from defense mechanisms through psychological, cultural and artistic standpoints. Chapter 3 examines real-life experiences borne from the defensive psychological space. Chapter 4 analyzes artistic creations and art representation styles, and the underlying techniques. Lastly, Chapter 5 offers a conclusion and an outlook on art creativity. The main characteristic of the artistic creation method based on the defensive psychological space is the enablement of a spiritual self-reflection through misplacing, combining, overlapping, penetrating, and segmenting the numerous multi-faceted and representative symbols examined. Create artworks through this spiritual self-reflection, the author in turn materializes what were seen, dreamt or felt during the research period, as well as other real-life experiences, on the canvas.

The defensible space theory was demonstrated by Newman in 1972. In his opinion, the effects of crime prevention and community consolidation can be improved by environment redesign, building security protection, and the re-arrangement of community space. These projects will successful to decrease the crime activities. First, on the purpose, the study will review the relevant literatures, and understanding the relations between the crimes and the defensible space of community. Second, the researcher will find the crime prevention influence of the community experiences in Kaohsiung city by questionnaire survey. Finally, the researcher explores the survey results and makes the useful suggestions and strategies for the government authority.

Past studies of vandalisms seem more focus on visitors’ internal factors, such as environmental attitudes and their motivations of vandalisms. Comparatively, few literatures are available which study the external factors, such as the designs and management intensity of recreation areas as well as situational factors of vandalism and environment cues. However, for recreation institutions, it should be much easier to change the designs and managements intensity of their recreation areas than to enhance visitors’ environmental attitudes and/or social responsibility. The primary data of this study was gathered using an experimental design and 5 qualitative in-depth interviews. Three hundreds and fifty nine wood-made picnic tables of four campgrounds in northern Taiwan were the objects of this study. The objective was to analyze which situational factors might cause new carvings on the picnic tables. The 10 situational factors were designed according to the Defensible Space Theory, which combined by territoriality, natural surveillance, image and milieu. The analysis consisted of standard statistical summary, T-test, Pearson’s Chi-square Test, ANOVA and a multi-regression analysis. Five additional qualitative interviews with the managers of campgrounds were conducted in order to further our understanding of the subject and help to explain the findings of this research. The results suggest that an effective approach to eliminate vandalism might be to create an environment that is less suitable towards vandalism. Recreation areas should be well-designed, which include providing enough formal and natural surveillance, as suitably set ranger centers and closer distance from the trail, enhance frequency of use. The occurrence of new curving on tables was significantly related to the presence of previous carving, suggest management should as well as quickly repair damaged equipments.

Ever since the National Police Agency, Ministry of The Interior started implementing the community safeguard program, all government branches and police offices began integrating community resources, promoting the importance of public security, and establishing a community security system. The next milestone in the program is to construct a nationwide Closed Circuit Television (CCTV). It is clear, the CCTV will play a crucial role in the community safeguard program. Thus, how the CCTV should be constructed, so that it can continuously aid the investigative efforts as policing methodologies keep evolving becomes an important topic to address. This study investigated four aspects pertaining to the CCTV currently deployed in the city of Taipei: 1) the overall perception for the CCTV; 2) integrating the CCTV with defensible space practices; 3) influences of the CCTV on privacy; and 4) management for CCTV camera placements. Questionnaires were utilized to collect data for analyses, and the sample population included all staffs at the Department of Civil Affairs, Taipei City Government & Taipei City Police Department (including the head and the director of the CCTV service division), heads of all Taipei City subdivisions, staffs of all Taipei City precincts, and citizens of the Taipei City. A total of 894 questionnaires were sent out, and 607 valid questionnaires, or 67.90 percents of total questionnaires, were collected. SPSS 12.0 (for windows) was used to conduct statistical analyses, and the primary statistical analyses performed include: frequency distribution, factor analysis, T test, one-factor analysis of variance, and regression analysis. The study revealed that: 1) respondents deemed that the CCTV will definitely improve security for the neighborhoods; 2) respondents are not totally satisfied with the crime-deterring effects of the CCTV; 3) the video resolution of the CCTV should be improved; 4) accessing policies for the CCTV tapes should be strictly reinforced, and respondents from safe neighborhoods are more satisfied with the tape accessing policies; 5) respondents hold positive viewpoints toward informal surveillance; 6) respondents feel comfortable that public areas are under surveillance for the purpose of public safety; 7) the CCTV does not violate privacy; 8) respondents perceive that it will make a positive contribution to public safety if the government constructs a nationwide CCTV; 9) respondents perceive that it is very important to enforce well thought out management policies for the CCTV; 10) respondents hold positive viewpoints toward replacing the CCTV with other safety improvement mechanisms; 11) respondents perceive that the camera placements should be more effect-driven; and 12) respondents do not agree that current CCTV can function reliably. Finally, the results from the regression equation of a well conceived CCTV indicate that the CCTV should possess the following qualities: 1) a high level of acceptance for camera placements; 2) a high degree of performance satisfaction; 3) a high quality of the tape resolution; 4) a positive image in the mind of citizens; 5) a positive perception and readiness for informal surveillance; 6) perceptions of effective crime prevention; 7) camera placement that is crime-deterring oriented; and 8) a high level of functional reliability. These findings can serve as references for constructing a CCTV that will effectively assist police forces in the future.
