Cities across the U.S. are increasingly using surveillance technology to address crime, but this approach only perpetuates distrust and does little to enhance real community safety.
The reliance on technological solutions like cameras and tracking instead of community engagement has led to a disconnect, making crime-solving less about local knowledge and more about digital monitoring.
In high-crime areas, constant surveillance creates a precarious living environment that does not necessarily translate to safety, exacerbating tensions between police and residents.
Many community members are understandably wary of cooperating with police, especially considering incidents of police violence, further complicating the relationship needed for effective community policing.
