						| Abstract [eng] | 
						The chapter focuses on online forum research in criminology. It discusses ex- isting methodologies and theoretical challenges faced by researchers, and future devel- opments in the area. As socio-technical systems, online hacking forums provide a val- uable source of information about the nature of illicit economies and construction of identities and norms in digital societies. |
