An information society is a society or subculture where the usage,creation,distribution,manipulation and integration of information is a significant activity. Its main drivers are information and communication technologies,which have resulted in rapid growth of a variety of forms of information. Proponents of this theory posit that these technologies are impacting most important forms of social organization,including education,economy,health,government,warfare,and levels of democracy. The people who are able to partake in this form of society are sometimes called either computer users or even digital citizens,defined by K. Mossberger as “Those who use the Internet regularly and effectively”.

Anarchist criminology is a school of thought in criminology that draws on influences and insights from anarchist theory and practice. Building on insights from anarchist theorists including Pierre-Joseph Proudhon and Peter Kropotkin,anarchist criminologists' approach to the causes of crime emphasises what they argue are the harmful effects of the state. Anarchist criminologists,a number of whom have produced work in the field since the 1970s,have critiqued the political underpinnings of criminology and emphasised the political significance of forms of crime not ordinarily considered to be political. Anarchists propose the abolition of the state;accordingly,anarchist criminologists tend to argue in favour of forms of non-state justice. The principles and arguments of anarchist criminology share certain features with those of Marxist criminology,critical criminology and other schools of thought within the discipline,while also differing in certain respects.
