British telecommunication company BT Group has developed a GPS tracking service for women walking alone. It is reported by BBC .
Walk ME HOME Tracker (“Conduct me home”) created in the form of a mobile application. To run it, before walking, you need to call or send a text message to the number 888. Thus, the service starts tracking the location of the person during walks.
Before sending to the Path, the user must enter destination items in the mobile application. For example, a store or own home. The application will call the user when the system calculations will have to come to the end point. In the absence of a response, the tracker causes emergency services of Britain, and then the police.
In early October, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson accused the police in insufficient attention to the crimes against women. According to the policy that the situation “causes anger”. He also noted that law enforcement system of Britain needs reform.
