This can take a step further to no longer be a single voice, but an echo chamber of ideas against the norm. This can lead to violence taking place as the new culture allows for it. The fandoms create a community for those who feel outcasted by society due to their fantasy #SO339

The podcast representation of Serial Killers does a good job explaining how the media is able to use crime from entertainment and the overrepresentation of the amount of crime committed by serial killers. #so339

[:) @jfry0618]

It explains the romanticization of serial killers allowing for the creation of fandoms. This reminds me of the driller community and how fandoms of microcelebrities and drillers are able to engage. They promote the culture being shaped #so339

Surveillance sorts people into categories- the key to everything we have talked about- media and culture sort people into categories, but what do these categories we create say about our society? #so339

I would love to learn more about the impact of surveillance on other domains especially within the health fields-- how can this be applied and could it help with violence of impoverished communities who often struggle with health disparities #so339

The most important part to me is the shift from reactive to predictive policing. Police have often been too late when a crime is committed, but through surveillance and predictive models they can understand likelihood of causing harm and this can be mitigated (issue: bias) #so339

The use of surveillance to use the smaller players to find large players by the LAPD is interesting. This allows for certain crimes to be over looked for the greater good-- should this be used on other minor offenses? #so339

This article links the idea of overpoliced and underprotected, surveillance is now a built-upon necessity in our society through the lens of safety, but it has allowed for "at-risk" groups to be target. Are there better ways for us to balance protection & surveillance? #so339

As bias is currently built into the law system will the increase of surveillance (new access points) allow for the strengthening of bias? #so339

This article makes me curious about BUPD's social media use- it is not in the same way exactly mentioned in the article as they have not had a violent act, but how does their Instagram or timely warnings change the view of the Butler community? #so339

Community engagement is key within social media and police. This allows for change to be made as more information comes out and is posted in response to issues by all parties. #so339

Rodney King's cause legitimized the need for accountability measures within the police policies. Are body cams enough accountability or are their other ways for the community, other officers, and officers themselves to hold themselves accountable? #so339

Stuart is unwilling to jeopardize his participant's safety and trust within the analysis which I think strengthens his credibility and makes the information given stronger. The idea of privacy is interesting though as they post on social media disclosing their lives #so339

As groups like the corner boys are being judged for their habits it is important to remember how similar their social media engagement is to other groups. The rejection of social norms is rooted even in their media production and consumption. #so339

How can the attention economy generate authenticity when it is based on profit and entertainment? #so339

[:) @jfry0618]

I was surprised by the Church capitalizing on the corner boys' "clout." Wilkin was using the same images and reputations to increase his authority over the congregation. This seems to me against what is typically viewed as serving a higher power. #so339

The need to have an Opp drove Chad to make his own, but does he understand having Opps is a blessing establishing a member, but a curse due to the implication of possible hurt- Chad's Opps are harmless, but will his want of fame encourage him to make a real one? #so339

[:) @jfry0618]

I think Chad using Junoir to be more popular highlights the grasp of microcelebrities and their ability to cement themselves into everyday culture, enforcing how social status is prioritized over other forms of control in many areas. I think this can increase violence #so339

Within the community they have different norms/ways to fix issues, do some look to aid others in their mental health battles through other means? Is mental health like feeling rejected by society a common issue for the members or even the drillers choosing to associate? #so339

[:) @jfry0618]

I am intrigued by the role mental health plays in the actions and ideals of the street gangs-- Nicky for example clearly is struggling, but chooses to self-medicate. #so339
