SOCIAL NETWORKS CONNECTION AND THE CRIMINAL OFFENSE OF MURDER
SOCIAL NETWORKS CONNECTION AND THE CRIMINAL OFFENSE OF MURDER

Summary/Abstract: Social networks quickly became an extremely important means of social interaction of different users, which in many ways influenced them to become the focus of research of different disciplines in the social sciences. It is evident that social networks have brought many benefits to communities around the world, but with positive impacts come negative ones as well. Related to this is the lack of criminological research on their role in the domain of crime, criminalization, victimization and crime prevention. The author of this paper starts from the basic assumption that a wide range of technological innovations in modern times provides numerous new possibilities that could help in investigations into murders, as well as increased interaction between police services and citizens. This is also the reason for the growing interest of police services in social networks not only to collect but also to share information and connect the police and the community. On the other hand, social networks can be a reason for committing the crime of murder. However, it is evident that scientific and professional research does not fully cover the role and importance of social networks in committing murder.
