Design and Implementation of an Online Crime Reporting System

Design and Implementation of an Online Crime Reporting System.

ABSTRACT

An ideal society is governed by laws and measurable consequences are meted out to any member of the society that is found guilty of lawbreaking. Customarily, members of the society are expected to report any incidence of the breakdown of law and order to the appropriate law enforcement authorities.

In time past, the process of reporting crimes in the society (Nigeria) had involved going into any of the offices of the law enforcement agencies (e.g. Police, neighbourhood corps) to make a report, which made anonymity next to impossible.

But the advent of technology opened more avenues for reporting crimes; from the telegraph, special radio communication, and dedicated phone lines to more responsive and more pervasive technological application platforms (web and mobile software applications).

INTRODUCTION

The quest to control crime and breakdown of law and order increases has the society grows and diversity of human intentions and interactions abound.

An ideal society is governed by laws and regulations that are collectively agreed upon and measurable consequences that will be meted out for any member of the society that is found culpable to have floated any specific component of the legal infrastructure.

Besides the legal infrastructure in a society are the security apparatuses that enforce the law with the interest to maintain law and order.

The legal infrastructures determine the extent to which law enforcement agents can act or protect the common interests of individuals in the society. It also outlines the civic responsibilities and human rights for the members of the society.
