Police’s Strategic Use of Instagram - A Social Justice Perspective
Options
BORIS DOI
Description
The police turn to social media to disseminate information, enforce laws, or involve
people in crime investigation. This paper’s goal is to explore the police’s use of Instagram
based on a comparative study of Instagram accounts of official police in selected socially
deprived and non-deprived neighborhoods from a social justice perspective. Using digital
trace data and interpretive findings, we seek to develop new insights and theories in the
light of social justice. Our work aims to contribute to literature on digital technologies
and social justice and thus to building a more inclusive, sustainable society.
