Policing Teen Sexting

More about the book

Focusing on the policing response to teen sexting, this book examines the complexities of managing the digital exchange of intimate images among youth in England and Wales, while also considering international perspectives. It highlights the challenges of applying existing legislation to modern practices, the tensions between law enforcement and the protection of vulnerable minors, and evaluates whether policy interventions have been effective. By drawing parallels with drug policy, it advocates for progressive, harm reduction approaches over traditional methods.
