«'Shaheen Shariff's thorough and thoughtful book Sexting and Cyberbullying is a must read for anyone who wants to better understand the pervasive and complex problems implicit in the modern world of technology and social media. Drawing upon her extensive knowledge and research on cyberbullying, she provides a practical and sensitive analysis of how to respond to the dark underbelly of the internet, without condemning the digitally empowered younger generation. Shaheen Shariff rises to the challenge set in her title and 'defines the line' between pushing the boundaries of social media and thoughtlessly victimizing other human beings. While the temptations to judge and punish in both courts and the courts of public opinion are great, Professor Shariff demonstrates their limits. Her more nuanced exposition of the problems of cyberbullying and sexting and evidenced based responses to these problems offer real hope for positive change and relief for the many victims.' A. Wayne MacKay, Yogis and Keddy Chair in Human Rights Law, Schulich School of Law, Dalhousie University»
