Building State responses to technology-facilitated domestic violence

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.
