Abstract

Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) technology is a valuable security tool that facilitates the detection of crime, serves as deterrence, as well as aids post-crime investigations. This study examines CCTV systems as part of a series of security infrastructures intended to prevent or detect examination malpractices in tertiary institutions. A structured questionnaire was designed and administered to students of Admiralty University of Nigeria. This study was guided by four research questions with multiple-item constructs used to obtain the perceptions of the respondents.  A random online sampling technique was adopted to obtain needed information on a five-point Likert scale. A 10-item questionnaire, with other questions on demographics, produced a high-reliability coefficient of 0.941. Exploratory analysis of respondent’s perceptions indicated an agreement, having a statistical mean greater than 3, that the presence of CCTV will deter people from involving in examination malpractices. This study provides statistical evidence that CCTV has great potential to improve the quality of supervision and student conduct during examinations. It is recommended that tertiary institutions should deplore CCTV cameras in examination venues for effective monitoring and to aid post-examination investigations. Future studies may investigate the perceptions of supervisors and management of tertiary institutions concerning CCTV deployment.
