This article investigates the phenomenon of domestic and sexual violence against adult women using digital communications technologies. The article explores terminological and conceptual challenges and describes the empirical research literature in this field to date in relation to digital dating abuse, intimate partner cyberstalking, technology-facilitated sexual assault, image-based sexual abuse, and online sexual harassment. The article also discusses policy and practice responses to this growing problem, as well as future directions for research. We argue that research and practice need to be guided by existing conceptual frameworks that utilize gender and actor-network theory to understanding the causes and consequences of women's experiences of abuse and violence facilitated by digital technologies.
本文研究了利用数字通信技术对成年女性实施的家庭暴力和性暴力现象。文章探讨了术语和概念方面的挑战，并描述了迄今为止该领域关于数字约会虐待、亲密伴侣网络跟踪、技术辅助性侵犯、基于图像的性虐待和在线性骚扰的实证研究文献。文章还讨论了针对这一日益严重的问题的政策和实践应对措施，以及未来的研究方向。我们认为，研究和实践需要以现有的概念框架为指导，这些框架利用性别和行动者网络理论来理解女性在数字技术辅助下遭受虐待和暴力的原因和后果。
