Technology and Domestic and Family Violence
This book brings together academics and advocates to explore an emerging issue: the use of technology by perpetrators of domestic and family violence. Of interest too is critique of government and non-government activities in this arena and how technology can be harnessed to respond to harm. Domestic and family violence (DFV) is widely recognised as an important social issue, impacting the safety and wellbeing of victim/survivors and their children, and on a broader scale, threatening risk and security on global levels. This book provides insights drawn from research and practice in the Global South and Global North to provide an evidence base and real-world solutions and initiatives to understand, address and ultimately prevent technology-facilitated domestic and family violence and how technology can be used to effect positive change and empower victim/survivors and communities. Technology and Domestic and Family Violence will be of great interest to students and scholars on victimology, criminology, social work, law, women’s studies, sociology and media studies. It will also be a valuable reference for practitioners, government and non-government advocates working on issues around domestic violence.
The Intersection Between Intimate Partner Abuse, Technology, and Cybercrime
Research studies continue to show that intimate partner abuse is a global social problem with severe consequences. However, while studies have advanced the understanding of what constitutes abuse (e.g., emotional abuse, financial abuse, etc.), there remains a dearth of information on how technology is utilized by perpetrators. The sparse information that is available indicates that technology has indeed become a tool by which abusers exert power and control over survivors. As a result, some have suggested the idea of "feeling safe" from perpetrators has eroded for survivors of intimate partner abuse. Thus, the purpose of this book is to present the current state of knowledge on the intersection between intimate partner abuse, technology, and cybercrime through the contributions of experts in criminology, psychology, and sociology. In order to present this research, the book begins with an overview of the current state of knowledge on intimate partner abuse. In addition, a chapter is devoted to how the Internet has changed the manner by which relationships (positive and negative) are formed. Then, in the next set of chapters, specific types of cybercrime that intersect with intimate partner abuse (e.g., cyberharassment, cyberstalking, etc.) are discussed in great detail by experts in the field. Along with the aforementioned chapters, a section of the text also focuses on characteristics of the online predator specifically. Finally, chapters discussing policing initiatives and legislative reactions are also included.
The Routledge International Handbook of Violence Studies
Violence is a serious public health problem. The number of violent deaths tells only part of the story, and many more survive violence and are left with permanent physical and emotional scars. Violence also erodes communities by reducing productivity, decreasing property values, and disrupting social services. In recent years, scholars have broadened their definitions of violence beyond the realm of interpersonal harms such as murder, armed robbery, and male-to-female physical and sexual assaults in intimate relationships, to include behaviors often ignored by the criminal justice system, such as human rights violations, racism, psychological abuse, state terrorism, environmental violations, and war. Guided by this broader definition of violence, this handbook offers state of the art research in the field and brings together international experts to discuss empirical, theoretical, and policy issues.
