The purpose of the evaluation is, on the one hand, to highlight the practical application of the regulation (process evaluation) and, on the other hand, the effects of this (impact evaluation).
As part of the process evaluation, it should be clarified whether the legal provisions in the practical application are adhered to. In addition, the practicability in everyday use should be evaluated and implementation hurdles and potential for improvement identified. The efficacy evaluation deals with the question of whether the situation at the video-monitored places changes as a result of the measure. The change should take into account both the crime rate and the sense of security of the citizens.
