Joanne Kennedy The Utilisation of Surveillance as a Business Intelligence Tool for Crime Detection and Prevention Joanne Kennedy STUDENT ID: C3369865 Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of Leeds Beckett University for the Degree of MSc Business Intelligence Faculty of Arts, Environment and Technology Leeds Beckett University September 2016 Abstract The following paper is designed to investigate the use of surveillance as a business intelligence tool for crime detection and prevention, and to determine how successful this tool is for policing, by connecting research to real-life crimes. CCTV is now part of daily life for most people in Britain, whether people are surveilled in the work place, in shops, or on roads. However, many people are still unsure as to whether CCTV is aiding in the detection and prevention of crime. Apart from CCTV and of course speed cameras, a lot of people are still unaware of any other surveillance methods and techniques used in crime detection and prevention. Methods such as ANPR systems, covert surveillance and crime forecasting techniques are all relatively unheard-of, yet play a major role in protecting Britain from crime. The following paper dedicates its primary focus to the North Yorkshire county and the West Yorkshire county, and with the use of crime statistics provided by the police, a number of interesting facts have been uncovered, for example, it has been determined that Scarborough is a problematic area for the North Yorkshire region, and it has been proven that with the use of ANPR systems and speed cameras, vehicle crime in both regions is on the decline. I Candidate’s Declaration I, Joanne Kennedy, confirm that this dissertation and the work presented in it are my own achievement. Where I have consulted the published work of others this is always clearly attributed; Where I have quoted from the work of others the source is always given. With the exception of such quotations this dissertation is entirely my own work; I have acknowledged all main sources of help; I have read and understand the penalties associated with Academic Misconduct.

  • 'Car-Chase Tv': the Legitimisation of Police
    ‘CAR-CHASE TV’: THE LEGITIMISATION OF POLICE WORK? By James Deane A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment for the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of Central Lancashire. July 2016 1 STUDENT DECLARATION FORM Concurrent registration for two or more academic awards I declare that while registered as a candidate for the research degree, I have not been a registered candidate or enrolled student for another award of the University or other academic or professional institution. Material submitted for another award I declare that no material contained in the thesis has been used in any other submission for an academic award and is solely my own work 2 Abstract ‘Car chase TV’ has become a staple of U.K. television schedules over the past two decades. Conveyed in a plethora of observational documentaries (ob- docs), mediated images of police vehicular pursuits (PVPs) are packaged as entertainment products. However, the rise of PVPs as a ubiquitous entertainment spectacle has taken place against a backdrop of concern around a steep rise in the human cost of PVPs emanating from police oversight bodies and widely reported in the national press. This research investigates whether car chase TV tends to legitimise the police, their work, and specifically the problematic practice of PVP. Historical analysis is used to map the developing concern around PVPs from 1900 through to 2011. The thesis then presents the findings of a thematic analysis carried out on an archive of ob-doc ‘car-chase TV’ programmes broadcast in the UK between 1993 and 2011. This analysis indicated that such programmes do tend to legitimise the police, police work and PVPs in particular.

  • 57 Years Policing the UK Motorways
    57 Years Policing the UK Motorways On this page we take a look at the history of policing the UK motorway network since the opening of the Preston Bypass in 1958. There are a number of articles written by members of Police Car UK and we hope that you will find this page both informative and interesting! It is quite long, so make yourself a cup of tea and settle down to... 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway The Preston Bypass The M6 Experiment Motorway Memories and West Yorkshire Motorways The 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway In 2009 we celebrated the 50th anniversary of the opening of the first section of the M1 motorway. OK, before we start there is an argument that the first motorway was opened a year earlier in 1958 and was called the Preston by-pass. However, it wasn’t designated as a motorway (part of the M6) until several years later and so the other side of the coin will argue that the first ‘official’ motorway, the M1 was opened on 2nd November 1959. But the fact remains that from 1958/9 Britain’s motorway network expanded across the country and is now an integral part of our transport system and our everyday lives. And for obvious reasons it needs policing and so we find ourselves here in particular celebrating the 50th Anniversary of Policing the Motorway. Those Police officers who have worked on ‘the strip’ over the years will have an affinity towards it that is hard to describe. It can be an extremely dangerous place to work but it can also be an exhilarating one.
