"There are many different opinions about how best to address San Francisco's crime problem and rising homicide rate. What is missing from this discussion is an evidence-based approach to crime prevention, with clear goals, measurable outcomes and a process for accountability. One example is the debate on the use of crime-surveillance cameras. Will the presence of 72 additional cameras in crime-ridden areas stop violent crime or only displace it?"
