Abstract :

<p> Closed-circuit television (CCTV) surveillance can be used to effectively combat and prevent crime and enable people to feel safe.

By using this analysis framework, this study compared and contrasted CCTV legislation and privacy protection among the three countries. The comparison results indicated that the largest disparities in CCTV policy among Taiwan, Japan, and the UK were related to dissimilar regulations and cultures.</p>
