Abstract

Four researchers searched popular media sites (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Google, Google+, Periscope etc.) using direct search engines on each page and Google Social Searcher which aggregates results across a number of sites. Key search terms were knife crime; knife; blade; stabbing; shank; strap; tool; tooled up; stab; cut. Searches were conducted with geographic limitations (Gloucestershire/South West) and without them. The resulting data were then analysed by the research group for key themes.
