This book investigates the causes and consequences of image-based
sexual abuse in a digital era. Image-based sexual abuse refers to
the taking or sharing of nude or sexual photographs or videos of
another person without their consent. It includes a diversity of
behaviours beyond that of "revenge porn", such as the secret
trading of nude or sexual images online; "upskirting",
"downblousing" and other "creepshots"; blackmail or "sextortion"
scams; the use of artificial intelligence to construct "deepfake"
pornographic videos; threats to distribute photographs and videos
without consent; and the taking or sharing of sexual assault
imagery. This book investigates the pervasiveness and experiences
of these harms, as well as the raft of legal and non-legal measures
that have been introduced to better respond to and prevent
image-based sexual abuse. The book draws on groundbreaking
empirical research, including surveys in three countries with over
6,000 respondents and over 100 victim-survivor and stakeholder
interviews. Guided by theoretical frameworks from gender studies,
sociology, criminology, law and psychology, the authors argue that
image-based sexual abuse is more commonly perpetrated by men than
women, and that perpetration is higher among some groups, including
younger and sexuality minority men. Although the motivations of
perpetrators vary, a dominant theme to emerge was that of power and
control. The gendered nature of the abuse means that it is best
understood as a "continuum of sexual violence" because
victim-survivors often experience it as part of a broader pattern
of gendered harassment, violence and abuse. Written in a clear and
direct style, this book will appeal to students and scholars of
criminology, sociology, law and psychology. Image-based Sexual
Abuse is also an essential resource for activists, legal and policy
practitioners, technology companies and victim-survivors seeking to
understand the deeply complex nature of intimate-image sharing in a
digital era.
