FIELD
The present disclosure relates to a system and method for crime prevention and public safety.

BACKGROUND
The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art.
The background information herein below relates to the present disclosure but is not necessarily prior art.
Any form of crime towards any member of community leaves the victim in a state of fear and depression. Especially the crimes that include physical assault, such as rape, acid attacks, molestation, abduction, etc.,leave sufferings that last forever on a victim’s psyche. It is estimated that almost 670 women in India have been sexually harassed daily and much worsethe actual number of cases is expected to be much higher.
Currently for crime prevention and management, citizens of countries are dependent on24x7 police patrolling or surveillance. Police patrolling teams are active in different local regions of a city, where some teams do surveillance rounds and some stay available in dedicated booths. However, offenders usually are aware of these facts and they manage to commit crime and somehow escape easily.
A common trend seen in different regions is that though people are willing to help but they do not get timely information of a crime happening in their vicinity. A major problem in crime prevention is that help does not reach victims in time.Even after having facilities available and strong laws against crimes, especially, crime against women, cases against women are steadily increasing.
Therefore, there is a long felt need to provide a system that effectively helps prevention of crime and enables safety of victim in a timely manner.
OBJECTS
Some of the objects of the present disclosure, which at least one embodiment herein satisfies, are as follows:
It is an object of the present disclosure to ameliorate one or more problems of the prior art or to at least provide a useful alternative.
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a system and/or a method that effectively helps prevention of crime, especially crime against women.
Another object of the present disclosure is to provide a system and/or a method using which a victim of crime can timely make nearby people aware of any possible mishap or about threat to one’s life or body or belongings.
Still another object of the present disclosure is to provide a system and/or a method thatidentifies people in the vicinity who may prove helpful to a person in danger or a victim of some crime.
Yet another object of the present disclosure is to provide a systemand/or a method that enables various groupsof people interested in helping a victim take timely preventive action.
An object of the present disclosure is to provide a system and/or a method that automatically detects emergency situation and generates alerts for local crime prevention/medical and other related authorities in the vicinity.
Other objects and advantages of the present disclosure will be more apparent from the following description, which is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure.
