Abstract:
This study examines to what extent new and emerging data sources or big data have been empirically used to measure key theoretical concepts within environmental criminology. By means of a scoping review, aimed at studies published between 20XX and 20XX, insight is provided into the characteristics of studies that used big data sources within environmental criminology. Although the number of studies increased each year, there has been a remarkable increase in the number of studies since 20XX. The findings suggest that most studies used administrative data or user-generated content as one type of research data. However, innovative data sources (automated and volunteered data) have gained in importance in recent years. Also, most studies are of a descriptive or predictive nature, predominantly conducted by computational (social) scientists. We put forward a scientific realist approach as a solution to integrate data-driven and theory-driven research. The results are discussed within this framework, and translated into avenues for future research.
