The CETaS researchers carried out the survey as part of a wider publication to explore the future of biometric technology for UK policing and law enforcement.
Speaking on the findings, Sam Stockwell, lead author and research associate at The Alan Turing Institute, said: “Our research shows that people are marginally optimistic about the benefits of biometric systems for reducing crime, but there’s also a clear acknowledgement that those using them need to provide the general public with greater confidence that appropriate safeguards are in place.”
