Abstract
In this paper, we propose a Web-based system to promote public safety and security that uses grassroots information to prevent and solve crime. The feature of our system is that it gathers and formalizes information related to crime or suspicious activities. The system provides useful information by arranging it with time and geographical attributes. As a result, people can find out about crime and suspicious happenings in their local area. Using this system enables people to share their experience and knowledge before crime actually occurs. This can lead to strategies for self-defense against ever-evolving criminal techniques.
