Crossfire
Crossfire (port. Fogo Cruzado) is a collaborative platform, smartphone application and data laboratory for the registration and production of data on armed violence in the metropolitan regions of Rio de Janeiro and Recife. Both the platform and the app allow users to record incidents of gun violence in real time with a geolocation system. In addition, institutions collaborating with the project can also provide information for present or recent incidents, which is registered by the platform managers. The app also sends notifications to users who have it installed on their smartphones if they are in an area where there is a current report of gun violence. The final objective of the project is also to generate a database that serves as an input to impact public policies to prevent violence. To this end they also produce monthly and annual reports based on the data collected and cross-reference it with public databases and information.
Institutional design
Formalization: is the innovation embedded in the constitution or legislation, in an administrative act, or not formalized at all?
Frequency: how often does the innovation take place: only once, sporadically, or is it permanent or regular?
Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
Decisiveness: does the innovation takes binding, non-binding or no decision at all?
Co-governance: is there involvement of the government in the process or not?
