The use of CCTV has indeed many advantages to the society. Firstly, it can help reduce the crime rate in a certain district where the surveillance camera is placed. Often, when a closed-circuit camera is placed in an area, burglars and robbers would not dare to perform their dirty acts, knowing that the camera would capture their movements and eventually, get them arrested, therefore, helping defer crime.
Secondly, the CCTV can also help monitor places such as classrooms and offices to prevent people from committing theft. It can observe the actions of the students in class and the workers in offices to discourage them to steal or do something stupid that would not do them any good.
Thirdly, as said above, it can also help police solve crimes and assist them in their investigations. Take for example, the murder of two-year-old James Bulger in 1993 was solved using CCTV. The CCTV recorded the killers leading Bulger out of a shopping mall to a railway track where Bulger was eventually murdered. The police managed to catch a glimpse of the killers through the CCTV camera, helping them to track down the murderers and arresting them.

What I see from the way you present your argument Jonan, is that you are very structured and systematic. I is good that you had taken only one viewpoint to present your view. This is a good tactic especially if you want to attempt the persuasive text-type, as pushing one point of view is more convincing than trying to present a balanced viewpoint for you then fail to convince the reader/examiner your personal stand. Good. This exercise gives me a good view on how I could deal the expository text-types with you. Great!
