Organised crime and social media!

The vociferous proliferation of the Internet, and more recently social media, into society and the everyday lives of its citizens has, over the last fifteen or so years, resulted in a sea-change in the behaviours and perceptions we have in relation to the information that is shared freely online. Resources such as social media provide valuable stores of information that can be used to support existing investigative and analytical practices in response to serious and organised crime.
