Research Summary
Professor Logie investigates cybercrime, technology-facilitated victimization, and the challenges that emerging technologies and digital environments create for criminal justice, law, policy, and policing. His research explores hackers, darknet marketplaces and forums, online fraud, artificial intelligence and deepfakes, hate speech and hate crimes, illicit drug markets, digital forensics, and cryptocurrencies. His scholarship has examined influencer fraud and the underground trade in social media and streaming metrics, liquidity-mining fraud involving malicious smart contracts, fraud targeting older adults, doxing and blackmail services, criminal knowledge-sharing, illicit fentanyl distribution, and harm-reduction practices in darknet communities. He employs qualitative, quantitative, computational, and geospatial methods, including thematic and content analysis, data mining, data visualization, and geospatial analysis, to examine how offenders exploit technologies and online platforms, how cybercrime affects victims and communities, and how legal, regulatory, platform, and criminal justice responses can be strengthened.
Professor Logie has published peer-reviewed research in leading academic journals, including Justice Quarterly, Criminology & Public Policy, Crime Science, the European Journal of Criminology, the Journal of Forensic Sciences, the Journal of Contemporary Criminal Justice, and the Journal of Interpersonal Violence. He has also contributed to externally funded research projects supported by the National Institute of Justice, the Bureau of Justice Assistance, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology through the Center for Cybercrime Studies at John Jay College of Criminal Justice.
