DESCRIPTION:When vigilantism is expressed through digital media\, it seeks
  and circulates targeted offenders’ personal information. The purpose of
  these acts is both informational in the sharing of details about transgre
 ssions\, but also punitive in the type of visibility wilfully enacted agai
 nst the target. Following an overview of relevant literature on user-led s
 urveillance and policing\, this talk will address some methodological chal
 lenges and possibilities associated with studying DV.\n\nMore information
