Social Media & Policing
Practical & tactical issues abound, but there are also very profound issues about the nature of the society that is emerging & the operation of the Police within it.

#verfollow for the coastal city of Veracruz.
A word-count analysis of more than a quarter of a million tweets using the hashtag #mtyfollow over the course of nine months (11/2010 to 8/2011) shows how hashtags are used as a common resource. People hook into the hashtag to "report" ("REPORTAN", in Spanish), issue warnings ("precaución", "cuidado") and request confirmation ("confirmar") about shootings ("balacera", "detonaciones" "balazos") in certain areas of the city ("zona", "Cumbres", "Av", "Sada"). You can also see the popularity of some user handles in the messages. Together, people such as @trackmty, @AnaRent and @cicmty, have more than 85,000 followers and 65,000 tweets. These people have become reliable information news sources.

Transaction Costs
• Transaction Costs– The whole cost of acquisition of something.• Price• Search costs / knowing of its existence. • Comparison
– Relates to Castells’ ideas of network constructions of power
![Page 26: Social Media & Policing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168a9550346895ddf47c4/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Network Theory
• Network Theory– Inclusion / Exclusion– Coordination through standards– Assignment of meaning
![Page 27: Social Media & Policing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168a9550346895ddf47c4/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Network Theory
• Network Theory– Inclusion / Exclusion• The gatekeeping function of the media • “What was not mentioned in the New York Times,
didn’t exist.” Castells. (or BBC, News International etc)
– Coordination through standards– Assignment of meaning
![Page 28: Social Media & Policing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168a9550346895ddf47c4/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Network Theory
• Network Theory– Inclusion / Exclusion
• The gatekeeping function of the media • “What was not mentioned in the New York Times, didn’t
exist.” Castells. (or BBC, News International etc)
– Coordination through standards– Assignment of meaning
• “Shaping the mind is more effective than torturing the bodies”– Manuel Castells
![Page 29: Social Media & Policing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168a9550346895ddf47c4/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Network Theory
• Network Theory– Inclusion / Exclusion
• The gatekeeping function of the media • “What was not mentioned in the New York Times, didn’t exist.”
Castells. (or BBC, News International etc)
– Coordination through standards• Can be technical e.g. use of Blackberry, SMS etc., but standards
are also cultural.– Assignment of meaning
• “Shaping the mind is more effective than torturing the bodies”– Manuel Castells

Network Theory
Assignment of meaning• Any media is concerned with meanings.
• So, in the social network to which he belongs, does this image make him more a hero or more a villain?

• Attention Poverty
![Page 33: Social Media & Policing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168a9550346895ddf47c4/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
• Attention Poverty“...in an information-rich world, the wealth of
information means a dearth of something else: a scarcity of whatever it is that information consumes. What information consumes is rather obvious: it consumes the attention of its recipients. Hence a wealth of information creates a poverty of attention and a need to allocate that attention efficiently among the overabundance of information sources that might consume it” (Simon 1971)

• No longer a society huddled around the sofa, BBC, ITV or down the local.
• Now, an infinite number of media products, channels, flavours, justifications, ideologies, truths, half-truths, misrepresentations & edits.

The Issues
![Page 36: Social Media & Policing](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062521/568168a9550346895ddf47c4/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
• Crime in a society where messages pass more quickly and less predictably than before
• Crime & anonymity on the net• Electronic surveillance• A society based on technical cohesion rather than
ideology or cultural cohesion (e.g. Apple & Blackberry as platforms rather than politics, religion or shared experience)– A society with neither pulpit, nor t.v.
• Scaling up / scaling down – social issues as wildfire (adapting an idea of John Arquila)
• Transparency (of citizens, of officers)
