Criminals are not looking for confrontation — they’re looking for opportunity.
Studies in criminology show that certainty of detection is a stronger deterrent than punishment. When someone realizes they’ve been seen, identified, and verbally addressed, the risk calculus changes instantly.
This is why live talk-downs are so effective. A real voice confirms three things:

Someone is watching
-
The activity is known
-
The situation is escalating
