Less well known, but with just as much potential to bring about social change, are ongoing local efforts to use social media and other forms of technology to prevent deadly outbreaks of violence. In The Technology of Nonviolence, Joseph Bock describes and documents technology-enhanced efforts to stop violence before it happens in Africa, Asia, and the United States. Once peacekeeping was the purview of international observers, but today local citizens take violence prevention into their own hands. These local approaches often involve technology--including the use of digital mapping, crowdsourcing, and mathematical pattern recognition to identify likely locations of violence--but, as Bock shows, technological advances are of little value unless they are used by a trained cadre of community organizers. After covering general concepts in violence prevention and describing technological approaches to tracking conflict and cooperation, Bock offers five case studies that range from "low-tech" interventions to prevent ethnic and religious violence in Ahmedebad, India, to an anti-gang initiative in Chicago that uses Second Life to train its "violence interrupters." There is solid evidence of success, Bock concludes, but there is much to be discovered, developed, and, most important, implemented." 001404336 588__ $$aOCLC-licensed vendor bibliographic record. 001404336 650_0 $$aNonviolence. 001404336 650_0 $$aViolence$$xPrevention. 001404336 650_0 $$aSocial media. 001404336 653__ $$aINFORMATION SCIENCE/General 001404336 653__ $$aCOMPUTER SCIENCE/Human Computer Interaction 001404336 653__ $$aSOCIAL SCIENCES/Political Science/International Relations & Security 001404336 655_0 $$aElectronic books 001404336 852__ $$bebk$$hProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete 001404336 85640 $$3ProQuest Ebook Central Academic Complete$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=https://ebookcentral.proquest.com/lib/usiricelib-ebooks/detail.action?docID=3339464$$zOnline Access 001404336 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:469057$$pGLOBAL_SET 001404336 980__ $$aBIB 001404336 980__ $$aEBOOK 001404336 982__ $$aEbook 001404336 983__ $$aOnline
