Where I got mugged
Where I got mugged is an application for mobile phones created with the objective of monitoring crime in Brazil based on data collection. Citizens can report whether they have been victims of a crime or have witnessed one. In addition, they can access a map that indicates the most dangerous areas of the city according to the data collected. This information allows for the creation of prevention mechanisms by the population. Furthermore, it provides information to the authorities for the efficient allocation of police personnel in the areas of greatest risk.
