On the face, crime reporting looks pretty straightforward—one sees some wrongdoing and reports it. But it’s rarely that simple. While that is the premise, to prove the wrongdoings one must have sufficient evidence against the criminal or witnesses who either saw them do it or have crucial information that relates to the case.

Crime?
Where there’s light, there’s also shadow.
In the vast history of humanity, crime has been an omnipresent issue. From shoplifting to
murders, it still plagues our world but fortunately, people have always triumphed over it.
Even today, our society appoints people of justice to fight against crime and maintain peace in
our community.
However, amidst all this, there are still thousands of crimes that go unreported. Crime
reporting is as important as fighting crime itself, without it we would never apprehend the
criminals.
What constitutes Crime Reporting?
On the face, crime reporting looks pretty straightforward—one sees some wrongdoing and reports it.
But it’s rarely that simple.
While that is the premise, to prove the wrongdoings one must have sufficient evidence against the
criminal or witnesses who either saw them do it or have crucial information that relates to the case.
• The Lack of Witnesses & Evidence
As mentioned, evidence and witnesses play a key role in crime reporting. The lack of either of them
pushes the case towards uncertainty.
Post apprehending the criminal, the next level of justice is to take the case to the court. There are
numerous cases where the case swung in the wrong direction because of a lack of concrete evidence.
Without proof, it comes down to a word-against-word argument that never promises a correct
result.
Introduction of Body-worn Cameras
Body-worn cameras are the answer to this age-old problem. These are cameras that attach to the
officer via a holder, allowing them to click pictures and capture video during duty, should the
situation arise.
The camera acts as an independent witness and the officers must inform the person who’s being
recorded. Besides offering tamper-free evidence, it was noted that people became less aggressive
during the incident and towards the officials once they knew their actions were being recorded.
