学术界对借助数字技术实施的一系列犯罪行为给予了相当大的关注。然而，这方面的重点主要是高科技计算机犯罪，如黑客攻击、在线欺诈和身份盗窃，或剥削儿童的材料和网络欺凌。对“技术促成的性暴力”的关注较少，在这种情况下，新技术被用作实施性攻击或扩大性攻击伤害的工具，在家庭暴力情况下扩大控制和虐待，或未经他人同意传播他人的性或亲密图像。在这篇文章中，我们专注于应对这些不同但相互关联的性别伤害的刑事立法的范围和局限性。我们认为，虽然在一系列国际管辖范围内有一些发展，特别是在"报复性犯罪“现象方面，但在法律范围内和法律之外都需要做更多的工作。虽然我们支持刑法的干预，但我们认为，必须对教育工作者、执法机构、服务提供商、在线社区和社交媒体网络的政策和做法给予同等关注，以实现平等和道德的数字公民身份的承诺。
Considerable scholarly attention has been paid to a range of criminal behaviours that are perpetrated with the aid of digital technologies. Much of this focus, however, has been on high-tech computer crimes, such as hacking, online fraud and identity theft, or child exploitation material and cyberbullying. Less attention has been paid to technology-facilitated sexual violence', where new technologies are used as tools to perpetrate or extend the harm of a sexual assault, extend control and abuse in a domestic violence situation, or distribute sexual or intimate images of another without their consent. In this article, we focus on the scope and limitations of criminal legislation for responding to these varied but interconnected gendered harms. We argue that although there have been some developments in a range of international jurisdictions, particularly relating to the phenomenon of revenge pornography', much more needs to be done both within and beyond the law. Whilst we support the intervention of the criminal law, we argue that equal attention must be given to policies and practices of educators, law enforcement agencies, service providers, online communities and social media networks to fulfil the promise of equal and ethical digital citizenship.
