Description

<p>This thesis sets forth the manner in which CCTV should be installed in public areas in order to balance individual privacy rights with security. The first part of this thesis presents the background of this issue, arguments from both the advocates and detractors of such use of CCTV, and Japanese case law. The second part of this thesis analyzes: (i) if Japanese public opinion in favor of privacy rights varies over time; and (ii) what factors influence public opinion via analysis of a newspaper article-database that is still connected to or influenced by public opinion. In conclusion, articles and arguments in favor of privacy rights are concentrated around the years 2002 to 2005 and several factors played an important role towards this, for example the technical progress of cameras at this time, successful CCTV use in the Shinjuku area, acts of terrorism in the United States and the United Kingdom, and murders solved by evidence recorded by CCTV placed in public areas.</p>
