In an interview with Vanity Fair, the star of the Hunger Games movie franchise said the privacy infringement, which targeted dozens of female celebrities including actress Kirsten Dunst and model Kate Upton, was "disgusting".
"It is not a scandal. It is a sex crime," Lawrence said.
"It is a sexual violation. It's disgusting.
"Just the fact that somebody can be sexually exploited and violated, and the first thought that crosses somebody's mind is to make a profit from it."
Lawrence, 24, said the fact she was famous was not an excuse for people to invade her privacy.
"Just because I'm a public figure, just because I'm an actress, does not mean that I asked for this," she said.
"It does not mean that it comes with the territory.
"It's my body, and it should be my choice, and the fact that it is not my choice is absolutely disgusting."
Lawrence said she was frustrated not just with the offending hackers but also with those - including people she knows - who viewed the images online.
"Anybody who looked at those pictures, you're perpetuating a sexual offense," she said.
"You should cower with shame.
"Even people who I know and love say, 'Oh, yeah, I looked at the pictures'.
"I don't want to get mad, but at the same time I'm thinking, I didn't tell you that you could look at my naked body."
The hacking scandal, believed to be one of the biggest to date, triggered debate over the security of internet storage facilities, including Apple's iCloud system.
