While the general public may feel uncomfortable discussing sexual
assault and violence with neighbors or coworkers, the popularity of
Twitter, Snapchat, and a host of other social media platforms
suggests that we are not shy about expressing our opinions online.
Debates that just a few years ago would have taken place in real
life have been relocated online; allowing eager commenters to share
their thoughts on guilt or innocence with legions of virtual
strangers. Crowdsourcing the Law explores how everyday participants
interpret and apply law in the influential online court of public
opinion. Engaging a multidisciplinary, case study approach, the
book analyzes social media comments about public figures such as
Bill Cosby, Brock Turner, and Harvey Weinstein to address ambitious
questions like: How are rape myths being challenged, reinforced,
and reinvented on social media? What is the promise and peril of
the #MeToo movement for transforming the law? And can due process
be afforded in the face of an increasingly powerful virtual jury?
