Anonymous Crime Reporting using Blockchain and Smart Contract

The traditional crime reporting systems face challenges such as inefficiencies, security vulnerabilities, and witness reluctance. Despite recent advancements like mobile applications and web platforms, challenges persist in ensuring data security, transparency, and user anonymity. These include maintaining confidentiality, data integrity, and preventing unauthorized access. To address these issues, this paper proposes leveraging blockchain technology and smart contracts. The primary objective is to enhance the security, efficiency, and anonymity of crime reporting processes. By utilizing the decentralized and immutable nature of blockchain, the system aims to ensure data integrity, transparency, and decentralization. Smart contracts will automate functions such as complaint validation and evidence verification, streamlining the reporting process. By addressing challenges in maintaining confidentiality, data integrity, and access control, the proposed solution seeks to revolutionize crime reporting, promoting trust, transparency, and accountability.
