Revenge Porn- what is it if it’s not a sexual offence?

Today I’m joined by Laura Higgins, Operations manager of the revenge porn helpline.   Laura discusses what revenge porn is and isn’t and why this is such a difficult topic to operationalise. (Sorry a slight academic term there which means to be able to state and test robustly a proposition, it’s one of my favourite words so I’m not really that sorry).   We discuss the varying forms this issue takes and why this is not gender specific, we look at the impact on a victim and what can be done about images/videos shared without consent.   Here is the article Laura refers to  http://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0886260518760011   the helpline: https://revengepornhelpline.org.uk
