| dc.description.abstract | In this study, a crime management information system was implemented for the citizens of Uganda, to enable them easily report crime cases such as domestic violence, theft, mob justice and many others no matter where they are. This is because there is inefficiency in case reporting in Uganda, especially in rural areas. This is caused by various challenges such as; limited access to police stations, limited number of police stations in some parts of the country, most Ugandans are often never informed about the location of the police stations, the cost of transport for people to travel to those police station is also a problem. The study used both qualitative and quantitative approaches. Data was collected using interviews and questionnaire methods and tools like self-administered questionnaires and interview guides, which were used for collecting data from 100 respondents. In objective one, the researcher collected both primary and secondary data which was analysed using excel spreadsheets and the user requirements were determined. In objective two, the system was designed using data flow diagrams (DFDs) and enhanced entity relationship diagrams (ERDs). In objective three, the system was developed using technologies such as Bootstrap, CSS, HTML, JavaScript and MySQL among others. In objective four, the system was tested and validated. The findings of the study are a great significance to researchers, Ugandans, and the Uganda Police Force. The study recommends that a mobile native application with an offline version and push notifications should be implemented in future for wider remote accessibility of police stations and justice. | en_US |
