Description
Examining how victimisation can occur across the online-offline continuum while emphasising the need for a holistic approach to understanding and addressing contemporary harms, this book covers various themes of victimisation in the digital age linked to the interconnectedness and blurred boundaries between online and offline experiences.
The book chapters provide a critical examination of how digital advancements have paved the way for new forms of victimisation, underlining the crucial role of criminology in confronting these issues and shaping policy. It covers a variety of themes, from the nuances of cybercrime and the repercussions of modern technologies on intimate partner violence and sexual abuse, to hate crimes against marginalised groups, extremism, and information disorder. Central to these areas is the online-offline continuum approach, which encapsulates the blending of the digital and physical realms, challenging the conventional dichotomy in which they are often considered. Through its extensive exploration of diverse subjects, this book provides a thorough overview of different victimisation types, deepening our comprehension of the intricate challenges in online and offline spaces.
Blending theoretical insights, methodological rigour, and practical strategies to comprehensively dissect victimisation in the digital era, Victimisation in the Digital Age is an important resource that will appeal to students, scholars, and practitioners with an interest in criminology, victimology, sociology, and communication studies.
