About this book

This handbook provides a comprehensive treatise of the concepts and nature of technology-facilitated gendered violence and abuse, as well as legal, community and activist responses to these harms. It offers an inclusive and intersectional treatment of gendered violence including that experienced by gender, sexuality and racially diverse victim-survivors. It examines the types of gendered violence facilitated by technologies but also responses to these harms from the perspectives of victim advocates, legal analyses, organisational and community responses, as well as activism within civil society. It is unique in its recognition of the intersecting drivers of inequality and marginalisation including misogyny, racism, colonialism and homophobia. It draws together the expertise of a range of established and globally renowned scholars in the field, as well as survivor-advocate-scholars and emerging scholars, lending a combination of credibility, rigor, currency, and innovation throughout. This handbook further provides recommendations for policy and practice and will appeal to academics and students in Criminology, Criminal Justice, Law, Socio-Legal Studies, Politics, as well as Women’s and/or Gender Studies.




Reviews

​“This is an incredibly relevant, comprehensive and compelling collection which challenges us to think globally and holistically about technology-facilitated gendered violence. Drawing from an impressive range of contributors, disciplines, perspectives and methodologies, this handbook is essential reading for anyone seeking to understand the nature and harms of these forms of violence, alongside the implications for justice” - Professor Neil Chakraborti, University of Leicester, UK 
“The Palgrave Handbook of Gendered Violence and Technology is a landmark collection charting the rapid development of interest in, and the impact of, technology on the nature and extent of gendered violence. The editors are to be commended for bringing together a diversity of national and international voices articulating the cutting edge thinking to be found in this field. In putting victim-survivor voices at the front and centre of both formal and informal responses to experiencesof a wide range of technology driven gendered violence(s), this collection will undoubtedly shape the future in this area of investigation. Scholarly, provocative, critical and committed, it will become the major reference point for anyone developing research in, or policy responses to, gender, technology and violence” - Sandra Walklate, Eleanor Rathbone Chair of Sociology, Liverpool, UK, conjoint chair of Criminology, Monash, Australia.
