dc.description.notesGeneral Overview: :This Australian Domestic and Family Violence Clearinghouse Stakeholder Paper explores the use of information and communication technologies (ICTs) by perpetrators of domestic violence as a means of exerting coercive control over their partners both during abusive relationships and post-separation.<br/ ><br/ >Discussion: The authors of this paper argue that the increasing accessibility and affordability of ICTs and the potential for their misuse by perpetrators of domestic violence provide new and more extensive techniques for the abuse and control of women in relationships. The paper begins with an examination of the literature regarding the nature and impacts of coercive control on women and argues that non-physical acts of abuse can be as, if not more, damaging to victims than physical acts of violence. The authors then conduct a detailed examination of the types of technologies (mobile and landline telephones, digital and video recording devices and computer and internet technology) and the methods of their misuse (surveillance and cyberstalking) employed by perpetrators of abuse within domestic violence contexts. The authors also examine the positive uses of ICTs, particularly use of the internet, in promoting women’s safety and wellbeing through the provision of web-based domestic violence information and support services.<br/ ><br/ >Finally, the authors highlight the implications of ICT misuse for practice, policy, legislation and research. They recommend further quantitative and qualitative research into the prevalence and impacts of ICT misuse on women victims of domestic violence; an audit of intervention orders to examine the extent to which ICT misuse is currently included; a comprehensive review of all Australian domestic violence legislation in light of the potential for ICTs to be used to perpetrate abuse; and training for advocates and workers around the inclusion of ICT abuse in women’s domestic violence safety planning.en
