The ideal of an inclusive and participatory Internet has been
undermined by the rise of misogynistic abuse on social media
platforms. However, limited progress has been made at national -
and to an extent European - levels in addressing this issue. In
England and Wales, the tackling of underlying causes of online
abuse has been overlooked because the law focuses on punishment
rather than measures to prevent such abuses. Furthermore, online
abuse has a significant impact on its victims that is
underestimated by policymakers. This volume critically analyses the
legal provisions that are currently deployed to tackle forms of
online misogyny, and focuses on three aspects; firstly, the
phenomenon of social media abuse; secondly, the poor and disparate
legal responses to social media abuses; and thirdly, the similar
failings of hate crime to tackle problems of online gender-based
abuses. This book advances a compelling argument for legal changes
to the existing hate crime, and communications legislation.
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.

This book explores and challenges common assumptions about gender,
conflict, and post-conflict situations. It critically examines the
gendered aspects of international and transitional justice
processes by subverting traditional understandings of how wars are
waged, the power dynamics involved, and the experiences of victims.
The book also highlights the gendered stereotypes that underpin the
(mis)perceptions about gender and war in order to reveal the
multi-dimensional nature of modern conflicts and their
aftermaths.Featuring contributions from academics in law,
criminology, international relations, politics and psychology, as
well as legal practitioners in the field, Gender and War offers a
unique and multi-disciplinary insight into contemporary
understandings of conflict and explores the potential for
international and transitional justice processes to evolve in order
to better acknowledge diverse and gendered experiences of modern
conflicts.This book provides the reader with international and
interdisciplinary perspectives on issues of international law,
conflict, gender and transitional justice.
