| Summary: | This special issue deals with the way that sexual abuse, illicit markets, and social communities increasingly co-exist online and offline. The contributions explore the interconnections between the offline and online contexts and interrogate how the digital is both reproducing and changing the way people experience practices entailing risks and unwanted behavior. The on/offline overlap is important to understand the continued relevance of gender, class, and age in a digital society. That way, exoticism that posits online crime as new because it is different, bigger, and more complex is questioned: several of the contributions in this special issue analyze how online crime does not reinvent, so much as tweak and exaggerate age-old problems. |
