Virtual reality, smartphones and social media: The potential of novel methods for the study of crime
Fri, September 13, 5:00 to 6:15pm, Faculty of Law, University of Bucharest, Floor: 1st floor, Room 2.10Session Submission Type: Pre-arranged Panel
Abstract
Novel technologies such as social media, virtual environments and smartphones are quickly becoming an increasingly influential part of our daily lives. Although being highly accessible, widely available at low cost, and despite their sigificant potential for increasing our understanding of crime, these technologies are still underutilized in criminology. Their ability to radically change the way we do criminal research is unquestionably high. Contributions in this panel highlight and demonstrate some of the possibilities that novel technologies offer for criminologists.
