INTRODUCTION
Police are group of people whose job is to enforce laws, help with emergencies,
solve crimes and protect property. A persons who carries out this duty is known as a
police officer. They work out of a police station. They trained in first aid and rescue,
because police officer are often one of the first people to get to a place where any
programs or people need help. In some societies, in the late of 18th and 19th, these
developed within the context of maintaining the class system and the protection of private
property. A police service is empowered by a state to enforce the law, to protect people
and property and to prevent problems. They are representing the civil authority of
government and responsible for maintaining public order and safety. These functions are
known as policing and it often also entrusted with various licensing and regulatory
activities.
A Criminal record is a record that is used to keeps track on the criminal activities
of a certain person, it records information about the criminal and how long did he / she
will be jailed in the prison. A common criminal record is made out of paper and kept in a
file cabinet. There is also the computerized version of a criminal record which offers
accuracy of information and easy usage. Police personnel would have to log-in to see the
information of the criminals with the use of their offender number and moreover can be
changed by only the police higher ups. The recorded information will be

The first recording system was the manual criminal records. In this, the officers
are needed to manually write down the needed information in the specified spaces and are
the information manually and because you cannot make any kind of mistake so that the
information is reliable. It also uses paper thus, more and more papers will be used for the
criminal record and will be a great hazard to the environment. That is why the
computerized log-in system was developed. Some police stations have implemented a
type of this record system but most are still using a manual criminal record system that
takes up a lot of space and paper. This is what lead the researchers to come up with this
system that aims to aid the Police personnel to record information about the criminals,
including their lawsuit, their personal information, and the penalty for their crimes.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Criminals have been present for the past centuries and due to this, the police were
created in order to stop them. In the present times, Criminal activity is still rampant and
has actually increased due to the increase in both the population and poverty. Due to
these reasons, The police force now have an enormous amount of work to do which
would also mean their jobs would become more difficult, specifically in keeping up with
the recording of the new criminals that are introduced in a prison daily. Due to the need
of the recording of the information, The Criminal Record system was made.
Information about an offender is manually recorded by the police officer with the
use of a Criminal Record and in today’s modern society most of the things are now high-
tech due to the sudden advancement of technology. Due to this, Technology rapidly and
develops things that change the lives of people. It innovate things to make people’s lives
lenient and make their work less inconvenient. It is known that sometimes writing can be
is deemed important, so the researchers came up with the idea to make a Digital Detainee

OBJECTIVES
The primary objective of this study is to develop and design a system that will
record the information regarding the criminals that is searchable with the use of their
offender number and is only available to police officers with the use of a log-in system. It
1. Help the police officers in recording the information about the criminal
2. Make the information easy to access with the use of a Search Bar
3. Ensured confidentiality and security of the information seen using a log-in system

STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Due to the new laws that the president had approved, the number of Assailants
captured has risen to a humongous amount. Due to this sudden rise, the recording of the
personal information of the criminals has become more difficult because more criminals
captured mean more data to be recorded for the use of the government and lawyers.
The current system that is being used in the recording of the data of the criminals
is still manual which means that recording and searching data takes too much time and
effort. It takes up too much time due to the fact that you have to write every letter in
recording and you have to flip a lot of pages just to find that specific piece of
information.
2. The record becomes more and more fragile due to the passing of time.
Due to the manual recording of data being made of paper, it can easily decompose
because of certain factors. This means that the paper records actually have a lifespan
unlike a digital record which could be stored for a long time. Also, because of the time
passing, the paper could also get to the point that it might crumble when you even touch
it.
machine. This means that a record will most likely have frequent mistakes if it was in a
manual way while using a computer or technology would actually lessen the mistakes by
a great amount.

SIGNIFICANCE OF STUDY
This system will help police officers in recording and searching for information of
the Prisoners and can also ensure the authenticity and confidentiality of the Information.
This will also save up the time and space that might have been wasted in writing down
manually on a paper criminal record. It will make it easier for the police officers to look

SCOPE AND LIMITATIONS
The study focused more on creating a computer-based system that will serve as
the new recording system of the police force. The police personnel who would want to
access this information must first log-in with the use of a password and username in order
to access the database. The police personnel must type in the offender number in order to
find the information regarding the criminal. The police can edit the information regarding
the criminals with the use of another log-in system. The researchers will limit the group
to be used to only 10 inmates of a mock prison due to the fact that we cannot use real

According to people who studied at the University of Montreal, they said that
criminology is the study of criminal phenomenon, for them they can easily know or solve
and understand the crime, the victim and society’s reaction to crime. But in their
situation, they are aware in criminal phenomenon. They develop risks. (Baure,2014)
Devah Pager (2018) in her article said that over a 2 million individuals are being
released each year through criminal justice system. This article focuses on the
consequences that criminal records affect employment opportunities for the important
Criminal records have always been a problem for criminals who are getting their
background check. Sometimes their punishment gets heavier due to past records. Based
on the research the students have done we now have the knowledge on what the criminal
record affect on people especially the person with it. Its starts with your family, not only
will you bring down your last name but they will also feel the effects of your criminal
fallout. Next are employment and especially the financial effects. Whether it was a big or
small crime it can have a huge effect in your career and especially your income with

As per Mary Ritter (2017), Things have gotten easier in the last few years as
databases are stored on faster servers and maintained much better. The information is
accessed easier, making it easier for sites that disseminate this information to get it to the
person inquiring. Jesse Berger, JD (2010) says that in Electronic criminal records helps
the policemen in searching the lack industry guidelines and offers lower status common
name matching. The advantage to processing criminal records through electronic means
is simple and straightforward. (P.G. Robson &A.E. Bailey-Watts) concluded that using a
computer-based in sorting makes the work easier and faster. It sorts out things that are
Computerized systems have been with us since the 80’s and have not slowed down
ever since. It has helped us in so many ways we cant even count them, we now rely on
them to save all our useful information without the use of pads that can take up space and
are hard to find when needed. Computerized systems have been helping us with tasks like
accounting for years, they are quick and easy to use and can be done without any effort
needed. They are also practical to use than a ballpoint pen and a yellow pad due to the
risk of losing them. They also give accurate results when given the variables to compute
it. They don’t take too long, they can give you all the information you want with the click
of a mouse. Since computers are more efficient than paper-based accounting, work will
be done faster and will not take up much time to do.(Romano, 2013)

the lack of uniformity of these requirements across occupations can have significant costs
to individuals with criminal records, society, and the economy, in the form of lost hours
of labor, the social cost of higher crime rates, and the lost potential of the individual.
These days we all rely on technology for almost everything we do in our lives.
Manual systems are one of these technology, this where we store most of our
information. But of course everything has its downfall and manual systems have them
too. First of all they’re not only slow and time consuming but they are very expensive
and can cost you a fortune to get one. Just because its expensive does not mean its
perfect, it is also prone to errors that can crash the system all together and some parts can
only be accessed on a limited time. So it may be practical to use a manual system but due
to how expensive and complex to use it the students would not recommend it.(Cerner
