This Victorian-based study, called SmartSafe, utilised a multiple-methods approach and included two surveys: one with 152 domestic violence sector practitioners, and one with 46 women who had experienced domestic violence. The findings showed that the use of technology by perpetrators to stalk and abuse women was a significant emerging issue in Victoria (see #4789). Building on this research, DVRCV has been working with Women’s Legal Services NSW and WESNET to investigate technology facilitated abuse in Australia. As part of this, we conducted an online survey for domestic violence sector practitioners in Australia between November 2014 and February 2015. The survey not only examined what and how technology is being used by perpetrators, but also how frequently practitioners were seeing technology-facilitated abuse." (From the Introduction).
