Resumen
Las redes sociales abren una nueva vía de aproximación a la reacción social informal al delito. Sin embargo, cabe preguntarse si la criminología está dando cuenta realmente de este nuevo contexto. El objetivo de este estudio fue revisar el estado actual de la literatura científica sobre la reacción social informal al delito en redes sociales, buscando establecer qué dimensiones de este contexto están siendo estudiadas y qué lagunas presenta la literatura existente. Para llevar a cabo la revisión sistemática se recopilaron los artículos publicados hasta 2023 disponibles en Web of Science, obteniendo 628 resultados, de los cuales 43 abordaron realmente el área de interés. Fruto de esta revisión ha podido observarse que la literatura empírica es escasa, aunque muy prometedora, lo que manifiesta el potencial que todavía tienen las redes sociales como fuente de información para aproximarse a la opinión pública sobre el crimen.
