“…(Harmer & Lumsden, 2019, p. 13) Jane's (2017) examination of Australian journalists' experiences of genderbased cyberhate and subsequent self-censorship demonstrates how harassment "mutes" women's public presence (p. 54). This was also affirmed in Gillet's (2019) research which found that participants decided to withdraw from Tinder and/or delete their accounts "… to mitigate intimate intrusions in a context where they were likely to occur" (p. 92). Therefore, these different forms of abuse also reterritorialize social spaces and entrench sociopolitical hierarchies (Harmer & Lumsden, 2019).…”

“…More broadly, gender-based invective, harassment, dismissal, and criticism have become embedded in women's participation in online spaces (Jane, 2017). For example, recent research with Australian female Tinder users showed that they routinely experienced the following: sexualized messages; hostility; appearance judgment; possessive/controlling messages; and unsolicited nude images on the platform (Gillet, 2019). Gillet's (2019) work noted that sexual double standards and gendered invective are used to both justify and sustain this harassment.…”

This finding is affirmed by Thompson's (2018, p. 83) analysis of Tinder Nightmares and ByeFelipe, 2 which found that when sexualization was challenged, men deployed sexual double standards to justify their behavior.…”

“…Ed., section 29.1, 29.3, 30.1). 6 Also, in 2014, the Protection from Harassment Act (POHA) 2014, extended the substantive definition of harassing behavior to include electronic means and provided more comprehensive protection orders for victims outside intimate relationships (Goh & Yip, 2014). As such, victims are potentially able to obtain a protection order from the courts, after their images have been shared without consent.…”

Technology-Facilitated violence against women (TFVW) is readily becoming a key site of analysis for feminist criminologists. The scholarship in this area has identified online sexual harassment, contact-based harassment, imagebased abuse, and gender-based cyberhateamong othersas key manifestations of TFVW. It has also unpacked the legal strategies available to women seeking formal justice outcomes. However, much of the existing empirical scholarship has been produced within countries like the United States, United Kingdom, and Australia, and there has been limited research on this phenomenon within South East Asia. As such, this chapter maps how technology is shaping Singaporean women's experiences of gendered, sexual, and domestic violence. To do so, it draws upon findings from a research project which examined TFVW in Singapore by utilizing semistructured interviews with frontline workers in the fields of domestic and sexual violence and LGBT services. Drawing from Dragiewicz et al.'s (2018) work on Technology-Facilitated coercive control (TFCC), I argue that victims-survivors of dating, domestic, and family violence need to be provided with support that is TFCC informed and technically guided. I also suggest that further research is needed to fully understand the prevalence and nature of TFVW in the Singaporean context.

“…A variety of qualitative studies have been conducted with "targets" (or victimsurvivors) and frontline workers who support them in relation to cyberstalking (e.g., Dimond, Fiesler, & Bruckman, 2011;Weathers & Hopson, 2015); Technology-Facilitated domestic violence (Douglas et al, 2019;Dragiewicz et al, 2019;George & Harris, 2014;OeSC, 2019a;Woodlock, 2017); imagebased sexual abuse (Amudsen, 2019;Bates, 2017;McGlynn et al, 2019McGlynn et al, , 2020OeSC, 2017); image-based sexual harassment (Mandau, 2020); online sexual harassment; Technology-Facilitated sexual assault (Gillett, 2019); online hate (Lewis, Rowe, & Wiper, 2019;Smith, 2019); online child sexual exploitation (e.g., Gerwitz-Meydan, Walsh, Wolak, & Finkelhor, 2018; for an overview of studies see; DeMarco, Sharrock, Crowther, & Barnard, 2018); cyberbullying (especially in relation to children and youthfor an overview of studies see Dennehy et al, 2020); and TFVA more broadly (Henry & Powell, 2015;OeSC, 2019a, b;Powell & Henry, 2017). More research focusing on the experiences of Indigenous peoples; racial minorities; people with disabilities [but see : Alhaboby, al -Khateeb, Barnes, and Short (2016); Alhaboby, Barnes, Evans, and Short (2019)]; sex workers; lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex (LGBTQI1) people; as well as those living in rural, regional, and remote areas is needed.…”

While digital technologies have led to many important social and cultural advances worldwide, they also facilitate the perpetration of violence, abuse and harassment, known as Technology-Facilitated violence and abuse (TFVA). TFVA includes a spectrum of behaviors perpetrated online, offline, and through a range of technologies, including artificial intelligence, livestreaming, GPS tracking, and social media. This chapter provides an overview of TFVA, including a brief snapshot of existing quantitative and qualitative research relating to various forms of TFVA. It then discusses the aims and contributions of this book as a whole, before outlining five overarching themes arising from the contributions. The chapter concludes by mapping out the structure of the book.
