Description
This book explores the social forces among and between online aggressors that affect the expression and perpetration of online hate. Its chapters illustrate how patterns of interactive social behavior reinforce, magnify, or modify this expression. It also considers the characteristics of social media that facilitate social interactions that promote hate and facilitate relationships among haters. Bringing together a range of international experts and covering an array of themes, including woman abuse, antisemitism, pornography, radicalization, and extreme political youth movements, this book examines the specific social factors and processes that facilitate these forms of hate and proposes new approaches for explaining them.
Cutting-edge, interdisciplinary, and authoritative, this book will be of interest to sociologists, criminologists, and scholars of media, communication, and computational social science alike, as well as those engaged with hate crime, hate speech, social media, and online social networks.

Reviews / Votes
'Hate speech is always with us, but the internet supercharged its developmental process. Formerly, voices crying out in the desert of hate largely went unheard, but the internet now provides a ready audience of fellow haters. Learn about the birth, nourishment, life, and death of hate speech in this impressive book.'William Crano, Oskamp Distinguished Professor in Psychology, Claremont Graduate University
'The very idea of a community of haters may seem paradoxical. Yet such is the extraordinary reality of our digital world. This carefully researched volume traces the emerging norms, innovative practices, and intensified cultures of online hate with which we must now contend, and challenges researchers - and society - to identify constructive new directions.'
Sonia Livingstone, Professor, London School of Economics, and Director of Digital Futures for Children
'With a novel focus on "social process perspectives" - such as the ways in which online hate can be a bonding experience for the haters - this timely book offers a vital resource for understanding and addressing the complexities of contemporary online discourse.'
Jonathan Zittrain, Professor of Law, Computer Science, and Public Policy, Harvard University
