Area of Science:
- Criminology
- Sociology
- Public Health
Background:
- Technology-facilitated abuse (TFA) is an emerging and harmful trend within intimate partner violence.
- TFA involves a spectrum of behaviors facilitated through online platforms and everyday technologies like mobile phones and surveillance apps.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a scoping review to identify the types of abuse, impacts, and resistance strategies reported in studies on TFA within intimate partnerships.
- To synthesize existing research on TFA between 2000 and 2020 in English-speaking countries (UK, Ireland, USA, Canada, Australia, New Zealand).
Main Methods:
- Scoping review of academic literature.
- Searched databases: MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Scopus in December 2020.
- Included 22 studies focusing on TFA in intimate partnerships (adults 18+).
Main Results:
- TFA presents diverse tactics, classifiable within the Duluth Power & Control Wheel domains.
- Impacts of TFA, though not always reported, include social, mental health, financial consequences, and a sense of omnipresence.
- Victim resistance strategies are infrequently detailed but involve direct action, seeking support, or identifying barriers.
Conclusions:
- TFA is a multifaceted issue requiring further research into its diverse manifestations and effective interventions.
- Understanding the impacts and resistance strategies is crucial for developing support systems for survivors of technology-facilitated abuse.
