Editor’s Note:
The primary objective of this book series is to explore contemporary issues
related to law enforcement agencies, security services and industries deal-
ing with security related challenges (e.g., government organizations,
financial sector insurance companies and internet service providers) from
an engineering and computer science perspective. Each book in the series
provides a handbook style practical guide to one of the following security
challenges:
Cyber Crime - Focuses on new and evolving forms of crimes. Books
describe the current status of cybercrime and cyber terrorism develop-
ments, security requirements and practices.
Big Data Analytics, Situational Awareness and OSINT- Provides unique
insight for computer scientists as well as practitioners in security and polic-
ing domains on big data possibilities and challenges for the security
domain, current and best practices as well as recommendations.
Serious Games – Provides an introduction into the use of serious games
for training in the security domain, including advise for designers/pro-
grammers, trainers and strategic decision makers.
Social Media in Crisis Management – explores how social media enables
citizens to empower themselves during a crisis, from terrorism, public dis-
order, and natural disasters
Law enforcement, Counterterrorism, and Anti-Trafficking – Presents
tools from those designing the computing and engineering techniques,
architecture or policies related to applications confronting radicalisation,
terrorism, and trafficking.
The books pertain to engineers working in law enforcement and research-
ers who are researching on capabilities of LEAs, though the series is truly
multidisciplinary – each book will have hard core computer science, appli-
cation of ICT in security and security / policing domain chapters. The
books strike a balance between theory and practice.

c itizens. This book is driven by the belief that police forces’ social media
strategies need to address the ‘softer issues’ (such as accounting for a new
orientation towards citizens—now also referred to as ‘customers’ or ‘cli-
ents’, addressing increasingly culturally diverse communities or handling
increasing requests for online anonymity) as well as the ‘harder issues’ of
technologies, analytical methods and applications. Social media moreover
confront police forces with new challenges such as digital vigilantism.
Vigilantism is not a new phenomenon, but social media have certainly
provided additional powerful tools for citizens to ‘take justice into their
own hands’.
Our authors provide hands-on advice and describe concrete applica-
tions for a diverse set of law enforcement issues: from crime prevention,
identification and reporting to community policing and citizen engage-
ment. By themselves or in combination with other datasets, social media
provide law enforcement with rich sources of information, as well as addi-
tional channels to engage with citizens. Social media are no longer ‘new
media’, and their strategic as well as practical value for law enforcement is
undoubted.
We hope that this book will provide our readers with both the concep-
tual and practical knowledge and the inspiration to employ social media in
new and effective ways.
The editors would like to thank the experts who have contributed to this
book, sharing their knowledge, experience and latest research. Our grati-
tude is also extended to the following organizations and projects:

xx About the Editors
Key messages were published to Twitter and Facebook about the policing of the
protest throughout the operation and due to the detailed monitoring police
responded to questions from members of the public and dispelled rumours about
disorder occurring in residential communities … At one stage a user asked if it
was ok to use a local railway station. Within minutes Staffordshire Police
responded with information and reassurance. This was re-tweeted numerous
times. Dozens of comments about the policing operation were also made using
Twitter and the media unit made sure they were quickly responded to. Towards
the end of the operation YouTube was used to publish a video showing police
action and information about the policing operation. This was promoted to
those interested in the event using Twitter, Facebook and PitsnPots sites
(National Policing Improvement Agency (NPIA) 2010, p. 14).
