Non-consensual Image-based Sexual Offending

This book presents a timely analysis of the psychological influences underpinnings and predictors of non-consensual image-based sexual offending (NCIBSO) such as revenge pornography cyber-flashing deepfake media production and upskirting. In this rapidly expanding field this book offers a novel perspective that encompasses both a forensic psychoanalytic analysis of offending behaviours and an examination of the influence of our use of online environments and digital platforms on these behaviours. The authors begin by outlining the historical and legal context before moving on to a critique of previously posited motivating factors. Rather than conceptualising NCIBSO in purely gendered terms they demonstrate the potential for a psychological framework to facilitate a better understanding of how and why people engage in a range of non-consensual sexual image offences. In doing so it will provide fresh insights for policymakers and clinicians in addition to scholars from across thefields of psychology sociology criminology law media and gender studies.<div><br></div><div><br></div>
