This book presents the first academic study offering a holistic
assessment of violence against women (VAW) in Scotland, both online
and offline. In particular, it focuses on VAW, hate crime, and
online forms of violence against women (OVAW). It critically
assesses the gaps in the hate crime protections in Scots Law,
focusing specifically on the absence of legal protections for VAW,
OVAW, hate crime, and gender-based violence, and it includes
international comparisons throughout. Given the current upsurge in
the abuse of women, this book offers a holistic assessment of the
phenomenon of VAW and makes the case for pressing law reform in
Scotland, specifically for legal protections against VAW and OVAW
to be included within Scots Law. The book contains not only
research findings but also makes practical recommendations for law
and policy reform in the areas of hate crime, VAW and OVAW. As
such, it contributes to Scotland's progressive and leading approach
to tackling violence against women and girls.
