| dc.description.abstract | Proper flow, management and use of records in any organization, whether profit oriented or nonprofit, is critical as blood is for the life of the human being. It is difficult to imagine the existence of an organization without a sound record management system. This fact is particularly true to complex organizations like the Ethiopian Police Force, whose entire operational activities mainly depend on the management and maintenance of crime records. This calls for the introduction of modem crime record management tools for the efficient and effective maintenance and use of police crime records. However, the existing means and tools of crime record management system 111 the Ethiopian police force is both traditional and manual. The existing traditional crime record management system cannot cope with the large flow of crime infom1ation which the system is required to handle on a continuous basis. Furthermore, the prevailing crime record management system lacks basic crime classification methods and hence the institution is forced to deal with crimes in their aggregate form. Police officers cannot also specialize on specific types of crimes. The main objective of this project is, therefore, to analyze the existing crime record management system and to identify its problems and design a computer based criminal records management system. To this end, the analyst has made an effort to learn the current system and has identified the requirements of its users. For this, the researcher has made several discussions with various internal and external users of the system and has gathered sufficient data that helped to analyze the existing system and specify the requirement of the users. Once the existing system has been analyzed, then different design alternatives that would solve the existing problems are considered. Finally one design alternative, that would best satisfy the requirements of users, is selected and sufficiently dealt with In the detail design phase, entities about which the system maintains data, have been specified and their relationship which are important to the system, established. The data items maintained by the system are also normalized in order to avoid redundancy with regard to inserting, deleting, and updating data into the database Furthermore, a prototype database is designed to demonstrate how the proposed criminal record management system will operate in the real life situation Finally, conclusion and recommendations are presented in order to highlight the findings of the study and for further completion of the analysis and implementation phases of the proposed system | en_US |
