Virtual Community Support Officers: Community Policing in the Digital Space

This discussion paper introduces the concept of devolving digital policing to members of virtual communities. A motivation is presented that highlights some of the issues faced when trying to police digital content and virtual communities. This is followed by a case study where the the monitoring and enforcement of video games communities has been devolved to community members. We conclude by introducing the concept of a Virtual Police Community Support Officer, where trusted members of specific virtual communities could work with the police online.
