Islamophobia in Cyberspace: Hate Crimes Go Viral

By Imran Awan

Book Overview

This book examines the case for current guidelines dealing with online anti-Muslim abuse. It is unique in its focus on new technology in the form of social media and the Internet and explores the challenges the police and other agencies face when confronting anti-Muslim abuse in cyberspace. It also provides a critique of how people are targeted by online offenders and helps us understand online anti-Muslim behaviour in a much more detailed and comprehensive way by bringing together a range of experts who will examine this phenomenon and critically discuss why they think it has become so much more prevalent than it was before.
