Title
Towards a crowdsourcing approach for crime prevention
Abstract
With the rising level of criminal activities, crime is becoming one of the main problems of modern society. To address this issue, we implement a mobile application for crime prevention. We focus on the usage intention and motivations for content creation and consumption. Our results indicate that people are willing to use the app for acquiring and sharing crime-related information, but not on a daily basis. In addition, participation on the platform was found to be driven by affective and rational motivations, to contribute to the neighborhood safety and in return receive help for maintaining personal safety.
