Abstract
Due to the growing impact of social media platforms and other digital technologies on our lives, the so-called sharenting – the online sharing of identifying or sensitive information about minors by parents or other adults within the minor's social circle – is an increasingly common and debated social practice. It is now recognised that sharenting is not just a fashion phenomenon worthy of sociological attention, but may carry with it a series of short- and long-term issues that warrant thorough reflections on its criminogenic nature and the social harms it may cause. This book provides a multidimensional and up-to-date discussion of sharenting, examining how this phenomenon is now widespread, permitted, and facilitated by the intersection of individual, social, and technical factors that increasingly characterise many practices of sociological and criminological interest.
The volume presents both previous studies on the subject from a transdisciplinary perspective and a selection of empirical results related to the research project 'ProTechThem: Building Awareness for Safer and Technology-Savvy Sharenting'.
