Ask HN:Thoughts on Crowdsourcing Crime reports

2 pointsby mukguptaover 11 years ago
I am from India and I recently started an initiative to fight crime using crowd-sourcing .Here is the link to beta application http:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.zerocrime.org.<p>Currently users can file unoffical reports and we place them on the map. Over time, We plan to aggregate these reports to create a crime rating index of neighborhoods and areas will be color-coded as per their crime rating. We will also conduct advanced analytics and longitudinal studies to generate meaningful insights for law enforcement agencies and media houses. We also plan to develop crime prevention tools such as prediction of crime through data analysis.<p>Thoughts ?

How will you identify fake reports?. I think it could be a good idea, but the map can be intentionally modified by random people as I see it.

- I think it is a great idea, especially if you can make it in real time.
