#3Probably true, but I think CCTV reduces civil intervention. Would be an interesting study to conduct.

#4Maybe because I’m laymen but this website makes zero sense to me. A link/button with the title in file name format which leads to a page with dollar amount to purchase? Purchase what? Is this a study? An essay?

#6One of the co-authors (Mark Levine) delivered a talk on his research on ‘groups and identities in security research’, which touched a bit on the the CCTV work discussed here (amongst other things). https://bengoldsworthy.net/2018/12/security-lancaster-semina...

Ah that makes sense. Thanks very much for the info and the js trick.

I doubt it, I am actually more inclined to think it's the other way around.
My own decision to intervene is mainly driven by my own feeling of safety. So if I am in an environment where is more people, or I perceive is better monitored, I will be more likely to help, because I am less worried to get into trouble.

I don't think safety is the primary issue, since it often isn't applicable to most cases where help is needed. Even though we focus an absurd amount of efforts to increase it that can only be described as madness, it is astonishing how much people are willing to risk if they are put in a situation where someone needs help.
But there are effects like the bystander effect that reduce the probability of help the more people are around. I would think CCTV would act as a similar way for people to question their impulse to help because of their surroundings.
A conscious decision could also be made here since many developed countries have laws that make the act of helping more dangerous from a legal perspective. Oh, you call that a cardiac massage? You killed that poor guy... [exaggerating here]
Why take any responsibility if big brother is around?
I have no data, just suggesting that it may be interesting to test something like that.
edit disclaimer: I regard CCTV as tech garbage that provides no value if it is used to identify people. GB is no more safe than other comparable countries that don't have it.

FWIW, Sci-Hub doesn't seem to have this. Yet.
