How should we understand both the nature and context of acts of sexting and socio-legal concern about such acts? In this chapter we discuss the conceptual frameworks through which this book views these different aspects of sexting. First we discuss the conceptual tools we use to understand the construction of sexting as a socio-legal problem, then we move on to how public perceptions and reactions to sexting might be understood. We then discuss our framework for understanding motivations for sexting, and finally comment on sexting and the nature of the image.
