"This book is essential reading for students, researchers, teachers, practitioners, and policy makers seeking a rich social scientific understanding of image-based sexual abuse. It is destined to become a classic piece of scholarship that significantly advances the study of the ways in which new technologies are used by men to abuse women."Professor Walter S.
