Summary
"This book focuses primarily on the non-consensual sharing of intimate images and videos or image-based abuse -- perhaps better known as sexting and revenge pornography ... ."--Page [1].
"This book considers the rapidly evolving, both legally and socially, nature of image-based abuse for both minors and adults. Drawing mainly from UK data, legislation and case studies, the book presents a thesis that the law is, at best, struggling to keep up with some fundamental issues around image-based abuse, such as the sexual nature of the crimes and the long-term impact on victims, and at worst, in the case of supporting minors, it is not fit for purpose. It shows, through empirical and legislative analysis, that the dearth of education around this topic, coupled with cultural norms, creates a victim-blaming culture that extends into adulthood. It proposes both legislative developments and the need for wider stakeholder engagement to understand and support victims, and the impact the non-consensual sharing of intimate images can have on their long-term mental health and life in general. The book is of interest to scholar of law, criminology, sociology, police and socio-technical studies, and also to those who practice law, law enforcement or have a wider social care role in both child and adult safeguarding."--Preliminary page.
