Book excerpt: The key focus in Online Hate and Harmful Content is to examine the role of potentially harmful online content, particularly among young people. This focus is explored through two objectives: firstly, to examine the commonality of online hate through cross-national survey statistics whilst also discussing the different implications of online hate for young people in terms of, for instance, their subjective wellbeing, trust, self-image or social relationships. Secondly, the book will examine different theoretical frameworks for understanding online behavior and online victimization. This is done by relying on existing empirical work conducted in the fields of sociology, social psychology, and criminology.
