title = {Happenings Foreseen: Social Media and the Predictive Policing of Riots},
year = {2016},
note = {This article investigates the influence of Social Media platforms on
policing protests and riots. Mainly, it is argued that through a
stronger inclusion of Social Media data into policing, Social Media
itself becomes a domain of internal security, therefore, it is argued,
Social Media could become securitized itself. Another argument is
that, as Social Media represents one aspect of the rise of Big Data in
policing, law enforcement has shifted strategies from reaction to
prevention, as the analysis of data offers the opportunity for
predictive policing. In this article, law enforcement practices
regarding Social Media in policing protests and riots are therefore
investigated in order to assess if Social Media has caused a shift
towards predictive policing and if this could be understood as a
further securitization within internal security policy.},
