"then no amount of surveillance could possibly help prevent crimes, petty and otherwise. just look at the UK."

I don't understand your argument. Are you suggesting surveillance cameras are somehow less effective in diverse societies? Are you claiming UK has as effective a surveillance network as China?

a more effective one.

>Are you suggesting surveillance cameras are somehow less effective in diverse societies?

I'm suggesting that certain cultures are less risk and conflict averse, to put it in the most politically correct way possible, and are less disincentivized from committing crimes by the possibility of brief imprisonment.
