Responding to the Misuse and Abuse of Social Media in Criminal Cases

Research has shown that the majority of people, youth and adults, engage with some type of social media. While social media has many positive uses, it can also be misused and abused by criminals in many crimes, particularly in cases of stalking and dating/domestic violence. In this webinar, the National Center for Victims of Crime will address a variety of social media (including location based and “anonymous” social media), how law enforcement and other criminal justice professionals can document and obtain evidence in cases involving social media, and considerations for victim safety.

Presenters for this webinar include Elaina Roberts and Sue Ryan, Program Attorneys with the Stalking Resource Center, National Center for Victims of Crime.
