About this book
Reviews
“The growth, and popularity, of the Internet is unprecedented. The rise of Internet usage has coincided with a variety of transnational forms of non-consensual image-based sexual offending. This book is a comprehensive exposé of this contemporary issue covering various aspects such as perpetrator motivations, impacts on victims/survivors and ultimately what can be done to stop this terrible crime. In doing so it makes an important contribution to this relatively unresearched topic.” (Dr. Matthew Hall, Arden University, Coventry, United Kingdom)
“Fido and Harper's new book is a very clear, concise and student-friendly text on the range of forms of image-based sexual abuse that is especially useful for students and practitioners seeking an up to date account of approaches and explanations from a critical psychological perspective.” (Jeff Hearn, Professor of Sociology, University of Huddersfield, UK; and Senior Professor, Gender Studies, Örebro University, Sweden, co-author of Revenge Pornography)Authors and Affiliations
