Recording and reporting crime can be made by application

Called Red Handed, an application for smartphones that allows reports on events being posted on a website so that potential crimes to be identified. The idea came from Australians began to create crime maps with the help of these tools. Users of the platform film what they see happening and send thither, in order to warn other people and even the police.

It can be done anonymously, so one visualizes a problem it can open the app and shoot. After she chooses a category like “violence” or “offensive behavior”, for example, and then sends it to the network.

For the police have direct access to information is done trading, said Dave Malcolm, What is the marketing director of the company that created the resource. Can also be voted the veracity of what was posted in order to verify that fact is actually a crime and thus avoid the misuse of the platform.

For the moment there is only one application for iOS, now the Red Handed was released on December 31 and is still in its infancy. Android users still have to wait.
