The document describes an experiment where researchers placed posters with eyes in certain areas to see if it affected people's honesty. They found that areas with eye posters saw less money taken from an "honesty box" compared to areas without. This suggests that subtle cues reminding people they are being watched can encourage socially cooperative behavior, as people may feel less inclined to steal or act dishonestly when under the impression of surveillance. The document asks for opinions on whether such strategies could help reduce crime rates and have lasting positive impacts through encouraging honesty.
