The All-Seeing Eye
Researchers have shown that we are more honest when we think that people are watching us. Sounds trivial, except when you realize that this works whether there are real people watching you or not. That is, people tend to be more honest when there are pictures of watchful eyes within sight of a high "crime" area. Humans are so simple sometimes. They are testing the theory in actual crime spots in England right now.
