- Abstract
Anna Gjika's book, "When Rape Goes Viral: Youth and Sexual Assault in the Digital Age," explores the intersection of digital media and sexual assault among young people. Gjika's research is based on case studies, focus groups, interviews, and media coverage analysis. She argues that while digital media can shape values and norms, it does not generate them. Gjika also examines the benefits and potential harms of digital evidence in legal processes and suggests educational and legal reforms to address image-based violence. The book provides valuable insights for sociologists, criminologists, educators, and advocates interested in understanding and addressing gender-based violence in the digital age.
