项目摘要

Online abuse is one of the most pressing challenges for our digital society. This is best demonstrated in the context of intimate partner violence (IPV) which continues to affect over two million UK adults with nearly 85% of victims/survivors subjected to some form of technology-facilitated abuse ("tech abuse"). Tech abuse describes the use of "everyday" digital systems (computers, smartphones, apps) to coerce, control, and harm a person or groups of individuals. It includes offences such as image-based abuses ("revenge porn"), cyberstalking, and GPS-tracking. It exposes victims/survivors and their children to all types of physical, emotional, and financial harm. However, the true scale, nature, and impact of tech abuse is unknown, which makes developing solutions extremely problematic. Additionally, the issue is of pressing importance because tech abuse is on the brink of rapid change. As "smart", Internet of Things (IoT) devices and Artificial Intelligence (AI) become commonplace, these systems drastically increase the reach of abusers and the ease with which they offend. For example, smart speakers or thermostats allow abusers to monitor or remotely control the physical environment of victims/survivors and gives them increased power over their most private data.The proposed research programme draws on my specialisation on the intersection of emerging technologies, cybersecurity, and gender studies, developed through over 32 publications. The initial four years of my FLF will provide me with a leadership platform to drive change by studying: (a) The conceptual fit of tech abuse with existing IPV definitions, theories, and models.(b) The background, drivers, and practices of IPV tech abuse perpetrators.(c) The safety and security shortcomings of existing digital systems such as smart, Internet-connected devices.(d) The national and international policy landscape relating to domestic abuse, online harms, and cybercrime. To achieve this, my FLF leverages excellent partnerships with a cross-sectoral mix of world-leading users and beneficiaries, including industrial (IBM, Kaspersky, Fujitsu, IoT Security Foundation), third sector (Respect, Refuge, Suzy Lamplugh Trust, European Network for the Work with Perpetrators of Domestic Violence), academic (Prof Marianne Hester OBE, Prof Elizabeth Yardley, Dr Nicola Henry), and policy stakeholders (National Cyber Security Centre, Home Office, College of Policing). Moreover, I have confirmed policy placements (UK Domestic Abuse Commissioner) and research visits (Cornell Tech, University of Melbourne), all of which are central to collate, validate, and triangulate data, to co-develop societal responses/technical design recommendations, and to advance my career, as well as my team's.Together, my FLF will result in an unprecedented evidence-base to revolutionise the tech abuse landscape to support the security and safety of IPV victims/survivors, with the findings of the first four years culminating in the co-creation of interventions and the establishment of a much-needed theory of change.

在线滥用是我们数字社会最紧迫的挑战之一。这一点在亲密伴侣暴力（IPV）的背景下得到了最好的证明，该暴力继续影响着200多万英国成年人，近85%的受害者/幸存者受到某种形式的技术辅助虐待（“技术虐待”）。技术滥用描述了使用“日常”数字系统（计算机，智能手机，应用程序）来胁迫，控制和伤害一个人或一群人。它包括基于图像的虐待（“报复色情”）、网络跟踪和GPS跟踪等罪行。它使受害者/幸存者及其子女遭受各种身体、情感和经济伤害。然而，技术滥用的真正规模、性质和影响尚不清楚，这使得开发解决方案变得非常困难。此外，这个问题非常重要，因为技术滥用正处于快速变化的边缘。随着“智能”，物联网（IoT）设备和人工智能（AI）变得司空见惯，这些系统大大增加了滥用者的范围和他们犯罪的容易程度。例如，智能扬声器或恒温器允许施虐者监控或远程控制受害者/幸存者的物理环境，并使他们对他们最私人的数据拥有更大的权力。拟议的研究计划借鉴了我在新兴技术，网络安全和性别研究交叉领域的专业知识，通过超过32个出版物开发。我的FLF的最初四年将为我提供一个领导平台，通过研究来推动变革：（a）技术滥用与现有IPV定义，理论和模型的概念契合。(b)IPV技术滥用者的背景，驱动程序和实践。(c)现有数字系统（如智能互联网连接设备）的安全性和安全性缺陷。(d)与家庭暴力、网络危害和网络犯罪有关的国家和国际政策格局。为了实现这一目标，我的FLF利用与世界领先用户和受益者的跨部门组合的良好合作关系，包括工业（IBM、卡巴斯基、富士通、物联网安全基金会），第三部门（尊重，避难所，Suzy Lamplugh Trust，欧洲家庭暴力肇事者工作网络），学术（Marianne Hester OBE教授、Elizabeth亚德利教授、Nicola亨利博士）和政策利益相关者（国家网络安全中心、内政部、警察学院）。另外，我已经确认了（英国家庭虐待专员）和研究访问（康奈尔理工学院，墨尔本大学），所有这些都是整理，验证和三角测量数据的核心，共同制定社会反应/技术设计建议，并促进我的职业生涯，以及我的团队。我的FLF将产生前所未有的证据基础，彻底改变技术滥用的格局，以支持IPV受害者/幸存者的安全和保障，头四年的研究结果最终导致共同制定干预措施和建立急需的变革理论。
