The Incel Crisis is the first accessible, academic research-driven book to unpack one of the most alarming social phenomena of our time. Who—or what—are incels? Written by a leading global expert and drawing on a decade of research in the field, Professor Lisa Sugiura goes beyond the headlines, Netflix shows and internet myths to explore who incels really are, how the movement has evolved, and why it poses a continued growing threat that needs to be held to account—not just to women, but to democracy, public safety, and young men themselves. With insight, empathy, and evidence, this essential antidote to the incel crisis offers a roadmap for better supporting young people, tackling violence against women and girls, and building healthier, more inclusive communities both online and offline.
