Dear all,
Please see the request for help with a BBC film documentary on the psychological effects of CCTV below. Is anyone interested in responding to this?
Thanks,

Dear Emily
I wonder if you could help me out.
I develop documentaries for BBC2, and am interested in working up a film on the effects of surveillance. By 'effects', I mean primarily psychological effects - we would like to make a film that looks at people working in CCTV control centres, and at people living in high surveillance areas, and talk to them about their fears and anxieties, beliefs about surveillance, and so on.
In order to put together a film of this type, we would like to focus on an area or street with exceptionally high rates of surveillance.
I wonder whether any statistics exist on the density of surveillance cameras in particular areas/ streets? Is there any way I might be able to find which five streets in the UK have most CCTV cameras, for example? Might there be any British academics who would be able to help me in this regard?
Any and all help will be hugely appreciated. Please do get back to me if you'd like to ask any questions about the research I'm doing.
Best regards
