To what extent does the surveillance system in China help to reduce crime?
The surveillance system in China has been effective in reducing certain types of crime, such as theft and vandalism, by deterring potential offenders and aiding in the identification and apprehension of criminals. The widespread use of surveillance cameras in public spaces has also helped to improve overall public safety and security. However, there are concerns about the potential abuse of surveillance technology for political repression and human rights violations. Additionally, the effectiveness of the surveillance system in reducing more complex and organized forms of crime, such as corruption and cybercrime, is limited. Therefore, while the surveillance system has had some impact on reducing certain types of crime, its overall effectiveness is limited by ethical and practical considerations.

'Crime scene cast'
A crime scene cast is a three-dimensional replica of a footprint, tire track, or other impression found at a crime scene. It is created by pouring a casting material, such as dental stone or plaster, into the impression and allowing it to harden. Once the cast is removed, it can be used as evidence to compare with known shoe or tire patterns to help identify potential suspects. Crime scene casts are an important tool in forensic investigations for linking physical evidence to individuals involved in a crime.
-
Is crime hereditary?
There is no scientific evidence to support the idea that crime is hereditary. While genetics may play a role in certain behaviors and personality traits, including impulsivity and aggression, they do not determine criminal behavior. Environmental factors, such as upbringing, socioeconomic status, and community influences, also play a significant role in shaping an individual's likelihood of engaging in criminal activities. Therefore, it is more accurate to view crime as a complex interplay of genetic, environmental, and social factors rather than solely a hereditary trait.
