Digital violence is not only directed against public persons, but also against private individuals and in its domestic and sexualized manifestations, it has a distinctly gender-specific component. Various forms of violence, such as doxing, stalking, hate speech, and cyber harassment, have developed and have been made possible by information and communication technologies or have become increasingly effective through the use of the Internet. The contributors to this volume provide fundamental interdisciplinary analyses for dealing with these forms of violence and discuss both legal, technical and activist interventions as well as experiences from counseling practice. In doing so, they identify central political needs for change and point out appropriate options for action.
