Title: Is it Displacement: Evidence on the Impact of Police Monitoring on Crime

Summary: We exploit detailed information on the location and exact date of installation of police-monitored surveillance cameras plus daily data at the street-segment level on all reported crimes in the city of Montevideo, Uruguay, to study the impact of police monitoring on crime. The incorporation of police-monitored surveillance cameras reduces crime in 85 percent in monitored areas relative to un-monitored areas of the city. Results are robust to alternative definitions of the control group and to a series of robustness checks. We run a series of placebo experiments that reassure that the findings have a causal interpretation. When we analyze aggregate crime, however, we find that total crime remain unchanged, thus indicating that the reduction in crime in police monitored areas of the city is compensated by an increase in crime in other areas of the city.
