基于图像的性虐待（IBSA）是指未经同意的记录、分发或威胁分发裸体或性图像。在过去五年中，许多司法管辖区修改了其刑法，以更有效地应对这一日益严重的现象，但刑事定罪的增加并没有自动转化为起诉的增加。本文通过对52位澳大利亚法律和政策专家、家庭暴力和性暴力倡导者、行业代表、警察和学者的访谈，考察了澳大利亚对IBSA的执法反应。我们认为，尽管有证据表明警方正在更认真地对待IBSA，但对IBSA做出反应的主要障碍有五个，包括：法律不一致；缺乏资源；证据的局限性;管辖权界限;以及指责受害者或最小化伤害的态度。本文就如何应对这些挑战提出了建议，以促进对IBSA更有效的监管。
Image-based sexual abuse (IBSA) refers to the non-consensual recording, distribution, or threat of distribution, of nude or sexual images. Over the past five years, numerous jurisdictions have amended their criminal laws to respond more effectively to this growing phenomenon, yet increased criminalization has not automatically translated into increased prosecutions. Drawing on stakeholder interviews with 52 Australian legal and policy experts, domestic and sexual violence advocates, industry representatives, police, and academics, this article examines law enforcement responses to IBSA in Australia. We argue that although there is evidence to suggest IBSA is being treated more seriously by police, there are five primary barriers to responding to IBSA, including: inconsistent laws; a lack of resources; evidentiary limitations; jurisdictional boundaries; and victim-blaming or harm minimization attitudes. Suggestions are made for how to respond to these challenges to facilitate more effective policing of IBSA.
