Juveniles don’t know a world without social media. But do they know the dangers? Do we, as adults know the dangers? Schools and families depend more and more on the Internet and computer usage for daily homework assignments and communication. Our juveniles have easy access to cell phones, smart phones, netbooks, computers, iPads and tablets. As such, school personnel and school resource officers need to keep on top of the latest trends, popular internet sites, text abbreviations and social network sites. This course will discuss current social media trends and crimes related to our juveniles’ use of social media sites, cell phones and computers. Also, this class will teach the legal implications associated with cybercrimes and specific social media sites.
