scotty, it isn't like "put up a camera, and there is no crime", but it is a time an evolution thing. As more criminals become aware of the power of the cameras, especially in tracking and allowing police to pick up suspects more easily, they will move on.
The other thing you have to consider is this: Crime may not go down, but what was the trend before and after the cameras take effect? if the crime rate was increasing by 10% per year, and now is flat, then the cameras have made a pretty significant impact.
I would feel much more comfortable walking in London at night rather than LA.
