In This Part

Chapter 12: Advanced and Emerging Analytical Methodologies

Chapter 13: Delivering Services through Crowdsourcing

Chapter 14: Protecting Privacy and Yourself

Social media technologies and data offer more for global security than we can possibly cover in one book. However, we can give you a taste of what else is out there and prepare you to go forward and break new ground while respecting old norms. In Part IV, we introduce you to bleeding-edge ways of analyzing and using social media data. We also describe how you can use crowdsourcing techniques to deliver educational and health services in hard-to-reach areas critical to security. We end with a discussion about privacy, and explore how you can use your newfound knowledge without infringing on basic human rights. We also teach those who are conscious of privacy and using social media to secure their communities about how they can protect themselves and their cause.
