Abstract

One of the major challenges of managing crime data is lack of robust and adequate management system. In this work, a comprehensive administrative website was built for effective management of crime reports/data. The crime data which was collected from a dedicated reporting mobile application was rendered into different categories on the admin dashboard. The admin dashboard incorporates features such as multilevel accessibility (which includes the generic admin and super-admin), an option to create reports, view reports, add a specific security outfit and so on. Unified Modeling Language (UML) and the waterfall software development technique were used in building the administrative website. The client side of the website was developed with client-side technologies, namely HTML, CSS, Vanilla JavaScript, and React, while the server side of the app was built using Node JS and MongoDB database. The application project files were hosted on MVPS virtual private cloud server, which is characterized by virtualization of resources and provision of backups. The developed software system was evaluated using the Lighthouse chrome developer tool and beta testing. The results of the Lighthouse analysis showed that the website is responsive and easily accessible. On the other hand, the results obtained from the beta test showed that the users’ experience was not hampered while the web application was being put to use.
