Building State responses to technology-facilitated domestic violence

该项目旨在调查澳大利亚最紧迫的社会问题之一：家庭暴力以及新出现的利用数字技术实施和升级虐待和跟踪行为。技术促成的家庭暴力威胁到心理、情感和身体的健康和安全(并意味着杀人风险)，因此值得关注。司法系统在防止技术促成的暴力以及保护和增强受害者/幸存者的能力方面发挥着至关重要的作用。这一及时的项目旨在评估国家对这类伤害的现有反应和管制。它预计将提供一个证据基础，以加强和发展创新的警务和司法政策和做法，使社区和经济受益。

This project aims to investigate one of Australia’s most pressing social problems: domestic violence and the emerging use of digital technology to enact and escalate abuse and stalking. Technology-facilitated domestic violence threatens psychological, emotional and physical wellbeing and safety (and signifies risk of homicide), and so warrants attention. Justice systems have a crucial role to play in preventing technology-facilitated violence and safeguarding and empowering victim/survivors. This timely project seeks to assess existing State responses to and regulation of such harms. It expects to provide an evidence base to enhance and develop innovative policing and judicial policy and practice, with benefits to communities and economies.
