Et si les médias étaient en passe de se substituer à la justice ? Multiplication des pétitions contre les jugements, organisation d'enquêtes et de procès parallèles aux procédures judiciaire sur les chaines d'information en continu, lynchages sur Internet... Autant d'indices révélant une offensive de plus en plus violente de l'opinion contre l'institution judiciaire et les principes qui la fondent. Déjà le secret de l'instruction et la présomption d'innocence ont quasiment disparu. La liberté de parole de l'avocat dans le prétoire est remise en cause. La justice ne résiste plus aux révélations médiatiques et se sent contrainte de réagir instantanément pour ne pas être à la traine des journalistes. On en vient même à instrumentaliser le procès pour le transformer en tribune médiatique. La forteresse judiciaire se fissure sous les coups de boutoir de l'opinion. Peu à peu, le système médiatique impose ses propres valeurs, l'immédiateté, le manichéisme, le spectaculaire, l'émotion. La justice est devenue l'un des champs de bataille les plus violents du populisme. Pire, des phénomènes de vengeance privée commencent à émerger dans le monde entier via les réseaux sociaux. Il est urgent de réagir.

How is social media changing contemporary understandings of crime and injustice, and what contribution can it make to justice-seeking? Abuse on social media often involves betrayals of trust and invasions of privacy that range from the public circulation of intimate photographs to mass campaigns of public abuse and harassment using platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, 8chan and Reddit – forms of abuse that disproportionately target women and children. Crime, Justice and Social Media argues that online abuse is not discontinuous with established patterns of inequality but rather intersects with and amplifies them. Embedded within social media platforms are inducements to abuse and harass other users who are rarely provided with the tools to protect themselves or interrupt the abuse of others. There is a relationship between the values that shape the technological design and administration of social media, and those that inform the use of abuse and harassment to exclude and marginalise diverse participants in public life. Drawing on original qualitative research, this book is essential reading for students and scholars in the fields of cyber-crime, media and crime, cultural criminology, and gender and crime.
