Policing 'Sexting'

The issue of 'sexting', or the sending of explicit images via smartphone, has received a considerable volume of publicity in 2014. The very real concerns this matter poses for the criminal justice system, and for civic organisations such as schools and colleges, has therefore been subject to considerable debate.

In an article written for Theoretical Criminology, Lara Karaian has explored the issue of policing 'sexting', from a critical perspective which incorporates elements of race, gender, feminist and queer theory. The article addresses the questions of blame which can attach to young persons, especially girls, who engage in 'sexting', and asks the question whether teenage girls are being 'responsibilised' for preventing the harms which can flow from 'sexting'.

  2. These Lock Systems Replacement Parts Parts of the traditional keys with better and more secure automation features like remote locking and unlocking. In these locks, a latch or bolt is made to cross the opening between the side of the door and the doorframe, thereby preventing access. Digital Door Locks, also known as keyless doors, the locks replace the keys with a digital screen, where you can put numeric digits as a code.
