Apps Against Abuse

On Tuesday, November 1, 2011, Vice President Joe Biden announced the winners to the “Apps Against Abuse” challenge he'd launched this summer to use smart phone apps to fight sexual abuse in college campuses. The two winning apps – “Circle of 6” and “OnWatch” – offer users a discreet way to get help and notify a circle of friends and/or the police their GPS location with just a tap of a finger. These apps will be available for free spring 2012 and are a great tool for safety.
