About this app
"An app to combat crime, spread awareness to remove ill-deeds from our society"
Public awareness is the most powerful tool to fight against crime and injustice as it stimulates self-mobilization and action, and mobilizes local knowledge and resources. It is a way to bring a certain issue to the attention of a community.
It is the dream of the whole mankind to live in a sustainable society where every person is free of fear from all forms of violence and they feel safe as they go about their lives in the community. But the irony is that crimes have become a prime concern in our modern society
Considering the problem as quintessential, I have developed SAJACC Mitra (Safety Awareness Justice Application for Community Care).The name of the application is derived from the Hindi Words - ‘SAJACC’ which refers to being aware and vigilant; and ‘Mitra’ which means a friend. The App aims to provide a user-friendly way to make the community aware about the crimes happening around them.
This app comes with the following screens:
=> Report Crime:
It provides the user a selection of nearly 10 crimes ranging from Burglary to Child Lost to Corruption etc, which the user has to select in order to file a report about the crime which happened with them or which they had experienced.
After selecting the Crime Type, the user has to fill a complaint form similar to a First Information Report (FIR) providing details about the crime that happened with them. The details include crime description, place of occurence that can be chosen using a map, date and time of the crime etc. After submitting, the information gets stored in a cloud database.
=> Crimes Around Us:
The user can view the crimes around their current location detected through GPS both visually as well as in detail. When the user clicks on Crime Locations Tab, a map represents locations of crimes around us in the form of red markers which makes the user aware and vigilant in case the crime has happened in their locality or they intend to travel to that place.
When the user clicks on Crime Details Tab, a list appears which on clicking shows the detailed information reported by any other user. This feature is novel and extremely helpful because it provides transparent information regarding crime so that you can make yourself, your family and the community safe and secure.
=> Anti-Bullying:
School Counsellors can register themselves on the portal to get details about cases of bullying in their school in the forms of detailed report lists where they are provided unique login credentials upon registration. The students can also file reports about the same anonymously so that the school authority can take action regarding cases of bullying.
=> Women Safety:
Women Safety has become a prime concern in today’s world. To make the community a much safer place for women to work and live, this screen comes with a special self-help features to call the police and other emergency women helplines instantly by clicking on the button. Also, in case of any unsafe situation, just tap the message button to raise an emergency SOS alert to the trusted contact selected by you. The SOS alert will be in the form of SMS with your location informing that you are unsafe and need help. Along-with, you can see nearby police stations on a Google Map based on your current GPS location with a feature to call them as well as get the directions. It also contains some safety tips to remain safe in all situations.
