US government, universities, companies and groups all make significant efforts preventing such events [1].To help reduce sexual affends and crimes, and help securing college female safety, we study the problems of existing safety apps, design and implement a new Android app FriendGuard. It is a context-awareness app that enables location sharing and status updates through shared session with friends. By sending notifications through alerts or check-ins, user’s status will be shared to the friends, who can take proper action to help and prevent possible sexual crime when necessary.
