The reason is simple: smartphone and computer density is not as high as in developed countries. User rates of social media platforms are considerably lower. However, user and accessibility rates are increasing rapidly.
Ushahidi has since been used in a number of areas and countries, including the mapping of violence in South Africa and Congo, the tracking of pharmacy stock outs in Malawi, Uganda and Zambia, and the monitoring of elections in Mexico and India. In Kosovo, a sexual reporting app crowd-source data to create hot spot maps of sexual harassment incidents.
The maps are made publicly available, giving women a clearer picture of where harassment most often occur. In cities such as New Delhi, Jakarta, Nairobi and Bogota, a similar system crowd-source data to inform users about local safety, including even information on street lightning. The flip side of all this, especially in volatile, conflict-prone countries, is that social media data easily can be employed to incite violence and to promote conflicts.

Moreover, data protection issues are a considerably larger problem in such countries because independent police oversight is weak. And finally, restrictive governments can use social media to prevent information reaching certain groups in society, use it for identifying dissenting groups, or simply shut the means of communication down. Promising though they may seem, social media are therefore no magic bullet for the policing of communities, especially not in conflict-ridden countries.
For international police missions, the balancing of these new and the traditional tools, such as diplomacy and political dialogue, becomes pivotal. At the very least, developing coherent social media strategies for police mission should be a part of the mandates.

Introduction
Thank you! Publications discussing my research findings include:.
Police, communities and communications technology in Hargeisa', Stability 6. Skip to main content University links. Close quicklinks. The police in The Netherlands provides an app linking people directly to community police officers, and the public can upload photos and videos of suspicious events. The Boston Marathon bombers were mainly identified by social media users cooperating with the police, which had specifically encouraged people to support their investigations.
Moreover, after the England summer riots in , thousands of rioters were identified and, later, convicted, following analysis of a huge amount of social media data. This list could go on but the point should be clear: social media has become an integral part of the community-policing approach. For international peacebuilding assistance in conflict-ridden countries, many lessons may be drawn. The police component of such missions has increased significantly over the last decades.
Making Peace - Tips on Managing Conflict
Peacebuilding has become police-building, with a strong emphasis on police and security sector reform. Can social media be used for the policing in these special settings? Up until now, coherent social media strategies for police mission have been lacking.

However, user and accessibility rates are increasing rapidly.
