Second, some have noted that, in many of the studies, there may be issues with selection bias since the introduction of CCTV was potentially endogenous to previous crime trends. In particular, the estimated effects may be biased if CCTV is introduced in response to crime trends.

It also found that CCTV could decrease unruly behaviour in football stadiums and theft in supermarkets/mass merchant stores.
