Abstract

This chapter considers the legal regulation of young people under the age of 18 with respect to the practice that has come to be called ‘teenage sexting’. Using studies, case material and newspaper reports from the USA, Canada and the UK, and drawing on some ideas from actor-network theory (Latour 1987) I look at how teenage sexting has been regulated legally and informally and the role of networks and processes of ‘translation’ (Brown and Capdevila 1999) in that.
