Meike de Boer

Dr. Meike de Boer is a Postdoc researcher at the Netherlands Institute for the Study of Crime and Law Enforcement (NSCR), part of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO). Her work focuses on criminological research at the intersection of cybercrime, digital forensics, and law enforcement procedures.

Her research spans critical areas including:

• Child sexual abuse material (CSAM) dynamics on darknet forums
• Social network analysis of criminal communities
• Impact of evidence modality (text/video/audio) on judicial judgments
• Reliability of police interrogation documentation

Publication analysis reveals an evolution from traditional police interrogation studies (2015-2018) toward contemporary cybercrime research (2024). Her work consistently integrates criminological theory with digital forensic methods, examining how social dynamics perpetuate online criminal behavior while highlighting cognitive biases in evidence processing across both digital and physical law enforcement contexts.
