As part of the wider LDigital and Online Violence: UK and South KoreaL (2022-2023) project, generously funded by the ESRC, the conference offered a unique opportunity to bring together researchers exploring online and digital forms of violence and to share international, interdisciplinary perspectives, with a special emphasis on perspectives from South Korea and the UK in particular. Despite the challenges posed by the pandemic, including a forced change of venue, the hybrid conference resulted in a rich set of discussions and some interesting themes emerging with respect to developments across the UK, Africa, Asia, and Europe relating to our approaches to, and learnings of, online and digital forms of violence. Some of the best papers from that conference are captured in this special issue, which is dedicated to the same topic.Actions such as image-based sexual abuse, online hate, stalking, harassment, cyberflashing, trolling, sexting, and online bullying have all been widely recognised as harmful behaviours in the online space, but relatively little discussion has been given to the wider phenomenon of online and digital violence, of which these-and more-all form a part. The uniqueness of the inaugural Digital Violence conference was that it created a dedicated, cross-disciplinary, and unique space for these conversations to explore the wider parameters and environments in which these nefarious and malicious behaviours evolve. In creating this space, it allowed for such explorations to also consider the myriad responses of disparate legal regimes operating to address similar behaviours while managing differing cultural and social attitudes, and legal approaches. Two things became clear from the conference conversationsand are similarly evident from the papers in this special issue-the need for these discussions to continue is paramount, but so too is learning from other jurisdictions and approaches as to Lwhat worksL and, what does not.
