Goal

establish a system that would consolidate and cross-reference reports on violent men, with the help of a system that makes it possible to report cases of violence in an accessible and easy way. Reports that intersect and point to a serial attacker would lead to organized and professional action, aimed at treating and curbing the attacker.

The Challenge

Since violent men in most cases act serially, it was realized that if the voices of his previous victims had been heard before the murder, it might have been possible to save Michal.

However, there was no system in place to consolidate and cross-reference reports on violent men, which made it difficult to identify serial attackers.

However, there was no system in place to consolidate and cross-reference reports on violent men, which made it difficult to identify serial attackers.

Solution

The solution was to create a user-friendly reporting system that makes it easy for victims of violence to report incidents, and for the police to access and analyze these reports.

The system would use advanced data analysis techniques to identify patterns of violence and potential serial attackers, allowing for organized and professional action to be taken to treat and curb the attacker.

Who’s Gonna Use It?

Police officer

  • Difficulty identifying early signs of violence- In many cases, there are no direct complaints or clear evidence- only subtle signs or gut feelings, making it hard to make informed decisions.

  • Information overload and lack of deep analysis- Investigators handle many cases simultaneously, including reports, testimonies, and messages- yet current systems don’t always help connect the dots.

  • Pressure to make quick decisions under uncertainty- Investigators often have to make critical calls—like whether to arrest or issue restraining orders—without enough time or data to support them.

Wireframe

In the Capsule Project, creating wireframes was a crucial step in the design process. It allowed us to visualize and test different design concepts before moving on to high-fidelity prototypes. During the wireframing stage, we focused on creating a clear and intuitive layout for the police officer dashboard, with features such as easy search and filter options, visual representations of data, and a seamless navigation flow.

Reflection

The Capsule project was a meaningful and challenging experience. We had to think creatively to make complex information user-friendly. Despite scheduling hurdles due to our busy work lives, collaborating with a talented team was invaluable. I'm proud to have contributed to such an important endeavor and look forward to its impact.
