| dc.description.notes | This study, conducted by University of Durham (UK) researchers, explored the use of smartphone applications ('apps') in relation to domestic and sexual violence. They conducted the study by:<br/ >The authors found that almost half (49 percent) of the apps provided some form of panic alarm or danger alert system; 32 percent of apps provided information about support services available or awareness raising about domestic and sexual violence; and 10 percent of apps preformed an evidence gathering function, such as voice recording and storage.<br/ ><br/ >The authors found that domestic and sexual violence practitioners were largely critical of panic alarm style apps, feeling they 'did not really add anything'. The authors argue that these apps may contribute to victim blaming, reinforce 'stranger danger' panics, increase the responsibility felt by victims to keep themselves safe, and contribute to the commodification of women's safety.<br/ ><br/ >The authors believe that apps may be more appropriately focused at people who have ended a domestic violence relationship and who want information or support. They recommend that future apps include domestic and sexual violence practitioners as advisors at the development stage. | en |
