CC 340

Building on the concepts introduced in CC240, this course focuses on the role of social media in shaping human behaviours in both digital and physical spaces. Students will learn about social media and its impact on traditional forms of crime, hybrid crimes, and cyber-specific crimes. They will engage in discussions about the significance of its role in shaping and encouraging social movements online, ranging from hate to advocacy, as well as issues related to the administration of justice in a globally connected society. They will also receive training about ethically collecting social media data; assessing data in the context of justice; and developing effective policy. <br>
