"A compelling and deeply informed study that will appeal to established and emerging scholars alike, as well as to a broader readership outside the academy. Anna Gjika expertly unpacks the harms caused by youth sexual assault and its technological mediation, analyzes its causes, and ultimately calls to account our responses as a society."--Anastasia Powell, coauthor of Sexual Violence in a Digital Age "Drawing on the words of directly affected young people, Gjika insightfully reveals the complexity of life online while sensitively exploring digital media's dual role in enabling and challenging cultures of sexual violence. An innovative, original, and essential work."--Heather R. Hlavka, coauthor of Bodies in Evidence: Race, Gender, and Science in Sexual Assault Adjudication "This book is a tour de force, destined to become a classic. With its original data and theoretical sophistication, this scholarship does much to advance a rich social scientific understanding of technology-facilitated sexual violence. Gjika's timely offering is essential reading for scholars, activists, practitioners, policymakers, and students seeking to understand image-based sexual abuse among youth.


"--Walter S. DeKeseredy, author of Contemporary Critical Criminology.
