IntroductionConcept & Idea

• Concept was adopted during SMS 2011 when saw Harassmap.org, Refined after viewing ipaidabribe.com an Indian Website for logging Bribe reports in various Govt. departments.

• Mapacrime has been launched on August 27th, 2011

• Enable general public to report anonymously such unlawful incidents happening to them or if they have witnessed any act of crime and do not have courage to come forward and report it to law enforcement agencies due to fears.

• Gather crime related statistics, which may help to identify certain areas in a specific city or all over the country which have higher crime ratio.

Benefits• General public will come to report the

un-reported incidents without showing identity.

• Visual map will be helpful for law enforcement agencies, media and public to identify the areas with crime problem and ratio of crime in certain areas.

• It will also help different Govt. departments to rectify the problem of fraud, bribery and other criminal activities which are reason of bad impact for those departments such as traffic police, excise, railways etc, which have corruption in shape of bribe and fraud.

local and regional market till the time of its launch.
