Abstract
Social media can impact investigations in positive ways, but also negative ways as well. The goal of this paper is to address how Social media impact investigations (specifically in negative ways). The content analysis has given insight into the many ways that this occurs, as well as showing that while the number is low, the fact it exists should be addressed. It was discovered that Social Media influence impacts investigators by placing them under pressure, it convicts people as guilty until proven innocent, and the experiment attempts to discuss why people seem indifferent towards these facts. This study is meant to bring into question, just how much we should let social media affect our thinking when it comes to convicting people of criminal acts (rape, robbery, etc.).
