“…In response to what many perceive as the over-regulation and criminalisation of young people's consensual, digital sexual interactions, scholars, lawyers and other community members have argued that a punitive approach to sexting is reflective of a heightened public anxiety and hysteria around youth and sexuality, and more specifically child pornography. As some scholars have maintained, the focus has been on normative frameworks around the minimisation of risky behaviours, with the effect of denying sexual agency and promoting a victim blaming mentality (see Albury & Crawford, 2012; Albury, Funnell, & Noonan, 2010; Karaian, 2012; Salter, Crofts, & Lee, 2013).…”

Young people's use of technology as a tool for the negotiation of their sexual identities and encounters has increasingly become a focal point in popular and scholarly discussion. Much of this debate centres on the sending of explicit sexual images and/or video (‘selfies’ or ‘sexting’) by mobile phone, email or social media. In Australia and elsewhere, legislative frameworks have arguably over-regulated or criminalised young people's consensual, digital, sexual communications. Equally, the law has failed to respond to the harm that is experienced by victims of non-consensual making and/or distribution of such sexual images. In this paper, we examine the non-consensual creation and distribution of sexual images in the context of harassment, stalking and family or intimate violence. We argue that harmful digital communications are often framed as a problem of user naiveté rather than gender-based violence. Moreover, we argue that current legal and policy approaches fail to adequately capture the social and psychological harm that results from the use of sexual imagery to harass, coerce or blackmail women. We draw on preliminary data from a larger project investigating adult women's experiences of technology-mediated sexual violence and harassment.

“…This article took a discourse analysis framework that allowed us to understand young people's norms and moral evaluations of their practices on digital media. These moral standards result of the negotiation between their own or their peers' experiences, parental concerns, awareness programmes and media representations (Smahel and Wright 2014;Agosto and Abbas 2015;Dobson and Ringrose 2016;Albury et al 2017). By taking a focus beyond (gender and sexual) self-presentation practices online, specifically sexting, we were able to detect that the victim-blaming process occurs for other types of online practices, such as contacts with strangers or Internet addiction.…”

Núria araüNa rovira i Virgili universityFrederik dheaNeNs aNd soFie VaN Bauwel Ghent university historical, temporal and contemporary trends on gender and mediaResearch on media and gender has proliferated during the last decades, both quantitatively and geographically across different regions of the world. This generous development has come either from feminist approaches that have focused on the reproduction of inequality between men and women in media products and in production structures, or from sociocultural and critical approaches within academia that consider gender a category that transcends binary divides and encompasses sexualities and sexual identities, with an increased attention to LGBTQI people. The proliferation has resulted in more intensified debates and the questioning and/or fortifying of concepts to better study issues within the broad field of gender and media. The field has particularly witnessed an increase in an intersectional approach, demonstrating how people have multiple identities that interact with one another and therefore gender identities and roles should not be studied in isolation but rather in relation to other axes such as class, race, and ethnicity, sexuality, age, disability or nationality.It has been acknowledged that broader ideological contexts do have an extraordinary impact on shaping the ideas that we share about ourselves as 01_CJCS_9.2_Introduction_177-184.indd 177

“…A successful campaign and dialogue against image-based sexual abuse should discern between sexting, receiving and offending in a manner well suited to include those who exhibit poor self-control, because these young people are more likely to give in to the temptation of offending through image-based sexual abuse. One way of exercising their self-control capabilities in this area could be to connect digital sexual risks to offline sexual risks (Albury et al, 2017). While the sharing of sexual images, either consensually or nonconsensually, is a new practice, the offenders share some of the same characteristics that young people at risk in other spheres of life do.…”
