SECURITY CAMERAS
Good morning everyone and welcome to “In the Middle of
the Street”, a place to discuss about the real problems on our streets, those
that really worry people. Presented by Mike Flewaway (MF), today we are going
to talk about security at schools. Should security cameras be installed in all
schools? Today, with us, John Levantini (JL), a sociologist specialized in
teenagers, and Clive Stuart (CS), a teacher in a conflictive area.
MF: Welcome to our program.
CS: Thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here.
JL: Thank you very much. It is the same pleasure to
me.
MF: Then, let’s start. The point is that a lot of
parents are worried about the security situation at many schools, and so do
students. Is it a good measure to decrease crimes at schools?
JL: No, it is absolutely not. The way I see it is that
it would make students develop new ways to commit crimes, for instance,
breaking them or doing crimes where cameras can’t see them. So the problem is
much bigger than it seems: it’s an educational problem. Parents have to educate
and grow their child in the respect. That’s the greatest thing they can do.
Also the teachers should...
CS: What do you mean? Are you saying we don’t work properly?
JL: Of course not. I was trying to say that that work
at home has to be seconded by school. The base has to be built by parents and
the last floors of the skyscraper, by teachers.
CS: I agree in the last part, nevertheless I totally
disagree in the first one. While this building you’ve talked about is being
built, what should we do? Waiting for someone to enter it and destroying it? Or
protecting it? Protecting it, of course. That is what cameras would do; keep an
eye on the students to see if they’re going on the right way and let the other
students do themselves. If they are good, they have nothing to fear about.
JL: Maybe... But it violates privacy rights! That’s a
very bad way to control them. They would rebel to this control. It would be
worse.
CS: But in the case that...
MF: Sorry, but last news claim for their prominence.
Very important news! That’s live! Thank you very much to both of you. We’ll
meet tomorrow again to keep discussing this problem. Remember: In the Middle of
the Street, the program to talk about what is really important. See you
tomorrow!
