These Men Are Disgusting Losers’
Instagram and other social media have played a significant role in feminist activism. For phenomena such as street harassment—a form of sexual violence with ‘invisible’ harms—digital activism is one of the only ways survivors can advocate for social change. Although criminological scholarship has begun to draw connections between social media activism and justice for street harassment, there is a gap in this research in exploring the affordances …
Technology-facilitated violence
This article provides a conceptual review of the term ‘technology-facilitated violence’. In the last decade, discussion of technology-facilitated violence has become commonplace in criminological and social scientific discourses. Yet, scholars have not settled on what this term means or the kind of relationship between technology and violence it infers. Addressing this ambiguity, we review how scholars have conceptualised technology-facilitated v…
Becoming a Public Survivor of Sexual Violence in Australia
The past decade has seen significant policy and law reforms relating to gender-based violence in Australia. Notably, there has been an emphasis on rape law reforms and related policy changes driven by the advocacy of survivors of sexual assault and child sexual abuse. Coupled with these reforms has been the emergence of public survivors – individuals who establish prominence in public and political arenas by identifying as survivors of sexual vio…
Queering Crime Reporting
While criminology has studied news media reporting for decades, it has largely overlooked reporting on anti-queer violence and depictions of crime outside mainstream outlets. This article addresses this gap by analysing how anti-queer violence is represented in LGBTQ community media. By analysing 1,295 articles from 11 LGBTQ publications across five Anglophone countries between 2019 and 2021, we examine which forms of anti-queer violence are deem…
Be gay, do criminology? Affect, subjectivity, and relationality in anti-queer violence research
As a nascent sub-discipline, queer criminology has been fundamentally concerned with questions about its identity and scope. Within these debates, several scholars have argued that queer criminology’s central purpose is to correct the discipline’s long-standing neglect of LGBTQ people’s experiences. However, queer criminology has predominantly addressed this neglect by focusing on the experiences of queer research subjects rather than queer resea…
Queer matters in criminology
This special issue addresses the need for a critical and collective response to the growing hostility faced by queer and trans people worldwide, and to the expansion of state, legal, and techno-social control over contra-normative modes of gendered and sexual life. In this editor’s introduction, we reflect on the provocation offered in the title of this special issue— Queer Matters in Criminology —and situate this collection’s development within …
From “Ghettoization” to a Field of Its Own
Street harassment represents one of the most pervasive forms of sexual violence. While it is commonly understood as a gender-based harm, it also intersects with racist, homophobic, transphobic, ableist, and other forms of abuse. Although it is rarely responded to through government policy, research illustrates that street harassment can have profoundly negative impacts of those who experience it. This article provides a comprehensive review of th…
Inviting, Affording and Translating Harm
Technologies not only extend capabilities but also mediate experience and action. To date, however, research on technology-facilitated violence has tended not to focus on the role technological mediation plays in acts of violence facilitated through technology. Building on prior work in the field, this article develops a theoretical framework and typology for understanding the role technological mediation plays in producing technology-facilitated…
Speaking out, ‘speaking in’ and safety work in the digital sphere
This article examines why victim-survivors of sexual violence disclose their experiences online. Drawing on findings from qualitative interviews conducted with victim-survivors, the discussion expands upon scholarly framings of ‘speaking out’ in digital spaces. The proliferation of the #MeToo movement has led to significant interest in digital activism surrounding sexual and gender-based violence, and disclosures are often articulated within femi…
Connecting survivors to therapeutic support and criminal justice through informal reporting options
This article analyses the content of 483 reports of sexual violence, including rape, sexual assault, child sexual abuse and various forms of sexual harassment, made to a digital reporting tool (DRT) developed by a rape crisis centre in Melbourne, Australia. These written digital reports were made in a confidential and informal capacity, with all de-identified reports distributed to relevant policing jurisdictions to support intelligence gathering…
