Journal of Strategic Security

Recent literature analyzes the use of social media by terrorist organizations, gangs, and other criminal groups.

We did a document analysis and conducted 18 in-depth interviews and 21 focus group discussions with stakeholders and beneficiaries. Transcripts were analyzed using directed content analysis.
