This document summarizes a research study on the development of an iReport mobile application to help victims of sexual crimes report incidents directly to police. The study used the System Usability Scale questionnaire to measure the usability of the app from the perspectives of users and police. The researchers found the app provided a practical and reliable tool for reporting incidents and recommending future studies evaluate it in different contexts and cultures or develop risk reduction initiatives. They acknowledged support from their adviser, panel members, and teacher in completing the study.

surroundings especially while walking at night because there
might be some guys that will attack them out of nowhere
and they can’t do anything about it. And also, there are some
cases where the victims do not want to go outside to report
to the police station because they are not comfortable with
their safety and become paranoid.

iReport is a mobile application that can solve these issues.


This application can report directly to the police station if
ever you are not comfortable because there is someone
stalking you. The user can notify a certain police station and
automatically send them the exact location.

The Sexual There are crime cases that are not being reported
or being noticed. Catcalling or street harassment is more
common than one thinks. Ask any girl and she has probably
experienced being catcalled at least once. But I can hear
people saying: It’s not like those guys touched you or
anything. Right. They didn’t. But so, what? And these aren’t
the only manifestations of harassment that women and girls
have to endure on a daily basis. Just a few weeks ago, news
of a taxi driver raping a girl in Baguio City broke out.

priority to research that improves response and recovery and/or
develop risk reduction.
