New Perspectives on Global Gender-Based Violence: Digital, Institutional and Inter-Personal Harms [Hardcover]

This edited collection reflects the diversity of gender-based violence and presents new perspectives and expands current scholarship in global contexts. It considers behaviours and actions including digital, interpersonal and institutional violence which are not readily understood as violence but are experienced as inherently harmful. It showcases how digital technology permeates violence and harm in diverse ways  whether this be via surveillance technology, harmful ideology or hate speech online or the globalised nature of the internet. With reflections on how people can research and challenge gender-based violence and harm in the future, it speaks to those interested in digital harm across Sociology, Criminology, Psychology, Youth Studies, Education, Law, Media and/or Cultural Studies.
