“…However, the response rate in this study was only 3.8%, and one may question whether the prevalence (10%) was inflated due to a selected sample. Other studies suggest that just under 10% have experienced any form of IBSA, and a lesser number (3–5%) report nonconsensual distribution (Eaton et al, 2018 ; Harder et al, 2019 ; Powell & Henry, 2019 ).…”

“…Researchers have suggested that sexting practice, even if seemingly consensual, may lead to non-voluntarily sexting in response to pressure as well as lack of consent for the forwarding of images (Wastler, 2010 ). For clearly non-consensual sharing of sexual images, new definitions are emerging, and IBSA now seems to be the most common term (Harder et al, 2019 ). IBSA behaviors are often divided into two main groups (Drouin & Tobin, 2014 ).…”

Sexual Victimization in the Digital Age: A Population-Based Study of Physical and Image-Based Sexual Abuse Among Adolescents

Adolescents increasingly use social media platforms, and these practices open up new forms of sexual victimization, in particular image-based sexual abuse (IBSA). Few studies have examined prevalence rates and correlates of both physical sexual victimization (PSV) and these new forms of victimization in representative samples. We used data from 5,245 adolescent girls (53%) and 4,580 adolescent boys (47%) from the population-based Young in Oslo Study (mean age 17.1 years, SD = 0.9). Of all respondents, 2.9% had experienced IBSA, 4.3% PSV, and 1.7% both IBSA and PSV in the course of the previous 12 months. Multivariate analyses revealed that PSV victims, after control for other variables, had many characteristics described in previous studies of sexual victimization. Girls had higher prevalence rates than boys, many had been victims of other types of violence, and were part of peer groups with much use of alcohol and drugs. PSV victims also reported early intercourse onset and a higher proportion had been commercially sexually exploited. Lesbian, gay, and bisexual adolescents had higher victimization rates. Victims of both PSV and IBSA had a similar but even more pronounced profile. The IBSA victims were different: They lacked many of the traditional risk factors for sexual victimization, there were no significant gender differences in this group, and IBSA victims more often came from high socioeconomic backgrounds. In conclusion, we observe a reconfigured landscape of sexual victimization patterns among Norway adolescents due to their increasing participation on social media and digital platforms.

“…With respect to the above risks, a significant number of authors have carried out research on the specific risks which are apparently most damaging and even punishable associated with the digital ecosystem among young people, such as cyberbullying, identity theft, sexual harassment, sexting, contact with strangers or access to dangerous or harmful content (Keipi et al 2017;Gámez-Guadix et al 2016;Kırcaburun et al 2019;Madigan et al 2018;Harder et al 2019;Pedersen et al 2022;Wachs and Wright 2018;Oonagh et al 2020;Näsi et al 2014;Schell 2016;Davis et al 2021;Healy-Cullen et al 2022).…”

Young People’s Perception of the Danger of Risky Online Activities: Behaviours, Emotions and Attitudes Associated with Their Digital Vulnerability

2023

Digital leisure has become the main reason young people make use of the Internet and social media. Previous research shows the danger of certain activities in the online environment. Of particular concern are those of a recreational nature, which are more socially accepted by young people; among them one can find: online gambling and betting, online shopping and eGames, and the consumption of content on social media. This study aims to identify the behavioural and psychographic variables which impact the probability that young people will perceive the danger of these risky activities. We have carried out a descriptive and causal investigation with non-experimental cross-cutting analysis through a computer-assisted phone survey on a sample of 1500 young people aged between 18 and 35. The results show that all the activities are perceived as dangerous by the majority of those questioned, but a large percentage of young people do not perceive any risk in online gambling, betting and eGames. We have determined several psychographic and behavioural variables to help predict the perception of risk among young people to help define formal and informal policies for reducing their vulnerability in the event of the inappropriate use of the studied activities.

“…Gender-based violence online has repeatedly been confirmed in different studies. Image based sexual abuse among youth has been examined in Denmark (Harder, Jörgensen, Gårdshus & Demant, 2020) and social media disclosures of sexual violence in Iceland (Sigurvinsdóttir, Ásgeirsdóttir & Arnalds, 2020). In this respect, women have been shown to be disproportionately more affected by online abuse than men (UN Women Broadband Commission, 2015).…”

The first Icelandic study of digital crime victimization was conducted in 2016. According to the results, approximately 13 % of respondents reported digital victimization during the three years prior to the survey. Slander and consumer fraud were the most common types of victimization. Respondents between the ages of 30 to 44 were most likely to have been victimized. In 2018, the survey was repeated using the same questionnaire. As before, the survey was conducted online in cooperation with the Social Sciences Research Institute and solicited information from a sample of circa 2,000 respondents representative of the Icelandic population ages 18 years and older. Approximately 20 % reported a digital victimization in 2018. This suggests a significant increase in victimization since 2016. The increase was most notable in regards to the sexual harassment of women. It is contended that the MeToo Movement of 2017 may have had an impact on the experiences reported by women in 2018.AbstractDen første islandske undersøgelse, der fokuserede på kriminel krænkelse over internettet, blev udført i 2016. Ifølge resultaterne rapporterede ca. 13 % af respondenterne, at de inden for de seneste tre år forud for undersøgelsen havde været udsat for krænkelse over internettet. De mest almindelige former for krænklse var bagtalelse og forbrugerbedrageri. Respondenter i aldersgruppen 30-44 år viste sig at være mest udsatte. Undersøgelsen blev gentaget i 2018, med anvendelse af det samme skema som i 2016. Undersøgelsen blev også denne gang foretaget over nettet i samarbejde med centret for socialvidenskabelig forskning og udsendt til ca. 2000 deltagere, der afspejlede den islandske befolkning over 18 år. Ser vi en øgning i kriminel forulempelse over nettet? Ser vi andre former for forulempelse end i 2016? Har Me-Too bevægelse i Island haft nogen indflydelse på ofrenes oplevelse af at være krænket?
