Abstract

In the modern digital age, efficient crime management is essential for safeguarding the public and upholding law and order. This project introduces the development of a Crime Management System (CMS) built with the MERN stack (MongoDB, Express.js, React, Node.js) to streamline crime reporting, monitoring, and coordination among law enforcement agencies. The CMS is designed to streamline the processes of crime reporting, record management, and data analysis, addressing inefficiencies in traditional manual systems. The system enables authorized users, such as police officers and administrators, to record and manage crime-related data, including case details, suspect profiles, and victim information. Key functionalities include user authentication, secure data entry, efficient retrieval mechanisms, and comprehensive reporting. The database schema is meticulously designed to handle relational data with entities such as crimes, cases, users, and locations, ensuring data consistency and integrity. The Crime Management System project is designed to offer a reliable and effective solution for storing, accessing, and handling crime-related information. By organizing crime data effectively, law enforcement agencies can gain insights, track patterns, and enhance crime prevention strategies. This study discusses the design, functionality, and impact of this Crime Management System in supporting crime data handling and analysis.

Keywords: Crime management system, data handling, data storage, system functionality, digital crime reporting
