ABSTRACT
Crime
record information system is a research work that will help police agency to
keep record of criminal records. It is aimed at developing a computerized crime
record information system , the developed system will provide required information for quick and accurate
prosecution of crime suspects in a court of competent jurisdiction. Those who
require this information may include lawyers, police and judges etc.
It
will also keep accurate record of those convicted of crimes to help the
criminal justice system have accurate record for decision making. With this the
government can always know when to grant pardon to repentant prisoners. The
data collection of this project work is mainly interview from police officers.
The implementation of this crime record information system project was carried
out using C# programming language and C# database for the database platform. In
conclusion, the work met all the objectives intended, it is thereby recommended
for Central Registry of Criminal Identification department of police force.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
In view of Karl Marx theory, human being are
intrinsically, necessarily and by definition social beings that (beyond being
“gregarious creatures”) cannot survive and meet their needs other than through
social co-operation and association. It is very vital maintain peace and unity
in multi-ethnic and multi-religious country of Nigeria. In order to maintain
peace and harmony, man has to fashion out constitution that will govern the
conduct of the member of the society. When people appreciate this code of conduct
and laws, protection of lives and properties are guaranteed.
National security has
been a source of concern to all and sundry in Nigeria. There is the issue of
religious crisis in some states of the Northern part of Nigeria, ritual
killings and kidnappings in some states of the South-East and South-South,
sectarian clashes in some states of the South-West, bombings in Abuja and some
states of the federation. In order to reinforce Security and Justice in
Nigeria, and to ensure the security of citizens, it is important to establish
at all levels a concrete and user-friendly system which will enable an
efficient exchange of information on previous convictions of criminals. Information
about previous convictions shall circulate between judgesand prosecutors as
well as police authorities. This is essential in order to provide adequate
responses to crime and also to prevent new crimes from being committed.
It should not be forgotten that prior to the
arrival of the British, criminal laws were existing in this part of the world
now known as Nigeria, wherever there was political entity requiring the
enforcement of standards of behavior and imposing punishment for their
breach.
Peter
(2010) describes the computerized crime record system as one that will enable the
police to have accurate statistics to draw analysis from, on information of a
case, the year a crime was committed, who investigated it, etc.”
The
police may decide that an offence is not serious enough to warrant recording.
It is important to observe that in Nigeria with, the high level of illiteracy
amongst both the public and the police and the high level of corruption, it is
not unlikely that it is only very few cases that will ever get recorded. In
recent times, with the economic hardship the country is going through it is not
uncommon for the police to complain about lack of stationeries in cases which
they may wish to record James N. (2010).
In most of the
North were highly systematic and sophisticated Islamic laws. The laws were so
systematic that there were several schools of jurists, and even differences
within them. Nigeria is one of the limited members of the countries in the
world that has death penalty, however according to figures in 2007 the Nigerian
police annual reports have no records of crimes according to regions, states or
cities. However, it is generally known in Nigeria that property crimes are
perpetrated more in the Southern states than in the Northern states. This may
be due to greater business activity in the South (Nigeria Annual Police Report,
1986 – 1989).
Although the
police record of crime is generally acclaimed as being closest to the criminal
happenings, it is plagued by the following problems:
The victim may not
be aware that an offence has been committed. This frequently happens when
employees are dishonest over deliveries of goods, receiving money and thefts by
employees within the store or business. Such losses are often written off
during stock taking as shortages or breakages. There is an enormous amount of
internal dishonesty which is never discovered or which is condoned.
The 'victim' may
have been a willing partner to the crime and so it 'is unlikely to be
discovered unless a third reports it. This is the case for many sexual offences
against children, and criminal abortion and homosexual offences.
Even
where the victim knows an offence has been committed and has not consented to
it or partaken in it, he or she may decide not to report the offence to the
police for a variety of reasons. It may be regarded as too trivial to warrant
such a report.
A
criminal record is a record of a person’s criminal history, generally used by
potential employers and lenders to access his or her trustworthiness.

STATEMENT
OF THE PROBLEM
Manual crime records in Enugu State
Crime Investigation Department, were maintained on paper, and were created and
updated manually ( typewriter or hand-written).
1.1.1
Problems
of Manual Crime Record
Until
1960’s criminal history records were maintained on paper, and were created and
updated manually ( typewriter or hand-written). That is to say that the process
of daily task and activities are done manually. Quite unfortunately, manual
procedures for job execution delays and reduces ones output quality.
Manual crime record keeping has
resulted in many setbacks to the expected standard. The bottleneck encountered includes:
·
Time wastage.
·
Partial or total loss of file or
documents
·
Under recording of criminal analysis
·
Exposures of confidential information
·
Inefficiency of some members of staff
due to laziness in searching for.
As
a result of these problems, the manual system of crime record system of
information storage, input and retrieval is very clumsy, inefficient and time
consuming.
1.2
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this project is to
develop a computerized crime record information systemthat will perform this
objective:
·
Provides required information or quick
and accurate prosecution of crime suspects in a court of competent
jurisdiction. Those who would require this information may include lawyers,
police , judges etc
·
Keep record of those convicted of crimes
to help the criminal justice system have accurate information for decision
making.
·
To use computerized crime record system
to replace some of human roles in cases of prosecution of crimes.
1.3
SIGNIFICANCE
OF THE STUDY
This project on
computerized crime record system is developed to carryout tedious work and
activities performed by human beings, in which they end up misplacing and
discarding some important files and case records. But if this (computerized crime record) is
installed it will render remedy to this case.================================================================
