Examining the evolving reach of the #MeToo MovementIn this timely
and important collection, editors Jason D. Spraitz and Kendra N.
Bowen bring together the work of contributors in the fields of
criminal justice and criminology, sociology, journalism, and
communications. These chapters show #MeToo is not only a support
network of victims' voices and testimonies but also a revolutionary
interrogation of policies, power imbalances, and ethical failures
that resulted in decades-long cover-ups and institutions structured
to ensure continued abuse. This book reveals #MeToo as so much more
than a hashtag. Contributors discuss how #MeToo has altered the
landscape of higher education; detail a political history of sexual
abuse in the United States and the UK; discuss a recent grand jury
report about religious institutions; and address the foster care
and correctional systems. Hollywood instances are noted for their
fear of retaliation among victims and continued accolades for
alleged abusers. In sports, contributors examine the Jerry Sandusky
scandal and the abuse by Larry Nassar. Advertising and journalism
are scrutinized for covering the #MeToo disclosures while dealing
with their own scandals. Finally, social media platforms are
investigated for harassment and threats of violent victimization.
Drawing on the general framework of the #MeToo Movement,
contributors look at complex and very different
institutions-athletics, academia, religion, politics, justice,
childcare, social media, and entertainment. Contributors include
revelatory case studies to ensure we hear the victims' voices;
bring to light the complicity and negligence of social
institutions; and advocate for systemic solutions to institutional
sexual abuse, violence, and harassment.
