Real-Time Text Classification of User-Generated Content on Social Media: Systematic Review
The aim of this systematic review is to determine the current state of the art in the real-time classification of user-generated content from social media. Focus is on the identification of the main characteristics of data used for training and testing, the types of text processing and normalization that are required, the machine learning methods used most commonly, and how these methods compare to one another in terms of classification performan…
Social network interventions in the space of topological relationships between communities
A social network intervention is a process of intentionally altering a social network to achieve an objective. The objective in question may concern accelerating behaviour change or improving organisational performance. In this work we propose a novel model of social network interventions which considers topological properties of relationships existing between communities. Broadly speaking, topological properties of such relationships include pro…
Assisted’ facial recognition and the reinvention of suspicion and discretion in digital policing
Automated facial recognition (AFR) has emerged as one of the most controversial policing innovations of recent years. Drawing on empirical data collected during the United Kingdom’s two major police trials of AFR deployments—and building on insights from the sociology of policing, surveillance studies and science and technology studies—this article advances several arguments. Tracing a lineage from early sociologies of policing that accented the …
Normalisation et domestication de la désinformation numérique: Les opérations informationnelles d’interférence et d’influence de l’extrême droite et de l’État russe en Europe
Cet article présente le processus de normalisation et de domestication de l’utilisation de la mésinformation et de la désinformation numériques dans les campagnes électorales en Europe. Plus précisément, notre analyse retrace l’influence des innovations associées aux techniques numériques d’ingénierie de l’influence portées par des groupes de l’extrême droite et des agences liées au Kremlin. À l’aide de ressources conceptuelles et empiriques, nou…
After Woolwich: Analyzing Open Source Communications to Understand the Interactive and Multi-polar Dynamics of the Arc of Conflict
This article is based upon a case study of the 2013 murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich, London. It shows how analysis of open source communications data collected via social media platforms can illuminate the inter- and intra-community conflict dynamics arising in the aftermath of such events. Framed by Collins’ recent theoretical work on the escalatory and de-escalatory forces in conflict situations, the empirical analysis brings to the fo…
Ten "Rs" of Social Reaction: Using Social Media to Analyse the "Post-Event" Impacts of the Murder of Lee Rigby
This article provides a case study analysis of social reactions to the murder of Fusilier Lee Rigby in 2013. Informed by empirical data collected by systematic monitoring of social media platforms, the analysis identifies a number of online behaviours with offline effects—labeled the ten “Rs”—that collectively constitute the process of social reaction to the crime. These are defined as: reporting; requesting; responding; recruiting; “risking”; re…
A Disruptive Influence? "Prevent-ing" Problems and Countering Violent Extremism Policy in Practice
This article describes how disrupting the activities of suspected violent extremists has become an increasingly significant construct in the policy and practice of the Prevent strand of UK Counter-Terrorism. Informed by empirical data collected during semi-structured interviews with police officers involved in conducting disruptions and members of the communities where these occurred, blended with a limited amount of field observation, the analys…

Seeing like a citizen: Field experiments in ‘community intelligence‐led policing’
This paper describes an innovative community engagement methodology designed to provide police with a ‘rich’ community intelligence picture of the ‘drivers’ of insecurity in neighbourhoods. Informed by empirical data from three case studies where this methodology has been trialled it is argued the approach facilitates a ‘community intelligence‐led policing’ approach. This has the potential to establish meaningful connections between community pol…
Policing the past: Cold Case Studies, Forensic Evidence and Retroactive Social Control1
In this article an empirically grounded study of the police practices used when conducting cold case reviews of unsolved homicides is used to illuminate the key features of what is termed 'retroactive social control'. It is suggested that this mode of social control, that works by placing past events under new descriptions, is an increasingly important feature of how social control is being imagined and delivered, and is predicated upon the capac…
Policing Uncertainty: Countering Terror through Community Intelligence and Democratic Policing
This article explores how counterterrorism policing strategies and practices in the United Kingdom have changed in the face of recent terrorist attacks. It considers the evident limitations of these developments and how a local, democratic style of neighborhood policing could be used to manufacture the community intelligence “feed” that offers the best probability of preventing and deterring future forms of such violence. These substantive concer…
Signal crimes and signal disorders: Notes on Deviance as Communicative Action 1
In this paper a ‘signal crimes’ perspective is outlined in an effort to unpack the relationships between experiences of crime and disorder, and perceptions of criminogenic risk. Grounded in symbolic interactionist sociology, and developing a social semiotic understanding of risk perception, it is a perspective that focuses upon processes of social reaction and the ways in which people interpret and define threats to their security. It is proposed…

Investigating MurderDetective Work and the Police Response to Criminal Homicide: Detective Work and the Police Response to Criminal Homicide (Clarendon Studies in Criminology)
Investigating Murder provides a unique insight into how police detectives investigate and solve murders. Based upon fieldwork observation of murder squads at work, interviews with detectives and detailed analysis of police case files, it provides an original and innovative account of the practices and processes involved in the investigation of homicides, as well as some of the problems that are often encountered in the conduct of this work. Drawi…
Organizational communication and the symbolic construction of police murder investigations 1
This paper draws upon a range of empirical data to consider the ways in which police murder investigations are symbolically constructed, both within and outside of the police organization. It is argued that a range of communicative formats serve to produce the activities associated with police murder investigations in a way that serves to legitimate the police function to both members of the public and police officers alike. A particular emphasis…
From Community to Communicative Policing: Signal Crimes' and the Problem of Public Reassurance
In this paper the concept of 'signal crimes' is proposed to capture the social semiotic processes by which particular types of criminal and disorderly conduct have a disproportionate impact upon fear of crime. Drawing upon the wider social scientific literature on risk perception, a sense of how and why different crime types might be possessed of different signal values is provided and some of the implications for current police practice outlined
Control Creep
Reacting to the attacks on September 11th and subsequently, governments in both the USA and UK have identified a need to enhance the social control apparatus in order to protect citizens from forms of 'asymmetric warfare' conducted by terrorist groups. These attempts to reform the provision of security and control cannot be understood in isolation. They are connected to a deeply entrenched process of 'control creep', whereby the social control ap…
An Iron Fist in an Iron Glove’ The Zero Tolerance Policing Debate
This article examines the development of zero tolerance policing in Britain and America. It traces the philosophical and theoretical bases of the zero tolerance approach and how they have influenced the practical implementation of a particular view of the police role in society. It is argued that central to the changes in public policing within the wider remit of social control, is an increasingly influential populist dynamic which is transformin…
Beyond the Macpherson Report: Managing Murder Inquiries in Context
This paper draws upon data collected as part of a three year project examining how the police investigate murder, to criticise and develop some of the conclusions of Sir William Macpherson's report into the Stephen Lawrence investigation. It is argued that the majority of attention in the aftermath of the report has been concerned with issues of police racism, but that this ignores a potentially significant theme connected to the management pract…
