How is social media changing contemporary understandings of crime
and injustice, and what contribution can it make to
justice-seeking? Abuse on social media often involves betrayals of
trust and invasions of privacy that range from the public
circulation of intimate photographs to mass campaigns of public
abuse and harassment using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter,
8chan and Reddit - forms of abuse that disproportionately target
women and children. Crime, Justice and Social Media argues that
online abuse is not discontinuous with established patterns of
inequality but rather intersects with and amplifies them. Embedded
within social media platforms are inducements to abuse and harass
other users who are rarely provided with the tools to protect
themselves or interrupt the abuse of others. There is a
relationship between the values that shape the technological design
and administration of social media, and those that inform the use
of abuse and harassment to exclude and marginalise diverse
participants in public life. Drawing on original qualitative
research, this book is essential reading for students and scholars
in the fields of cyber-crime, media and crime, cultural
criminology, and gender and crime.
