The existing body of research on cyberstalking has identified the prevalent nature of this behavior, and the detrimental impact that cyberstalking has on victims and society. This systematic review aims to summarize literature on the perpetration of cyberstalking with two research questions: (a) Who are the perpetrators of cyberstalking? and (b) What are the methods of cyberstalking? Two literature databases (SCOPUS and Web of Science) were searched for empirical research or literature reviews examining cyberstalking perpetration and/or methods. Following screening, 80 articles were identified and rated as highly relevant based on their applicability to the research questions. Perpetrators of cyberstalking were found to lack social skills, have low self-control, have experienced physical abuse victimization, endorsed stalking-related attitudes, and have higher rates of Internet use. Perpetrators were motivated by trying to reconcile a relationship, exact revenge, seek a relationship, or establish control over the victim. The most commonly reported methods of cyberstalking were unwanted and repeated online contact through email, social media, or text message. Other methods of cyberstalking include accessing the victim’s accounts, tracking their GPS location, posing as the victim online, or contacting friends/family of the victim. The findings of this review highlight precursors to, and patterns of, cyberstalking perpetration, and future research is required to explore how existing “offline” stalking risk assessments and typologies can be applied to cases of cyberstalking, which would allow authorities to develop effective case management strategies.
关于网络跟踪的现有研究表明了这种行为的普遍性,以及网络跟踪对受害者和社会造成的有害影响。本系统性综述旨在总结有关网络跟踪行为的文献,并提出两个研究问题:(a) 谁是网络跟踪的实施者? (b) 网络跟踪的方法有哪些?我们在两个文献数据库(SCOPUS 和 Web of Science)中搜索了有关网络跟踪行为和/或方法的实证研究或文献综述。经过筛选,确定了 80 篇文章,并根据其对研究问题的适用性评定为高度相关。研究发现,网络跟踪的施害者缺乏社交技能、自控能力差、有身体虐待受害经历、认可跟踪相关的态度,而且使用互联网的比例较高。犯罪者的动机是试图调和关系、实施报复、寻求关系或建立对受害者的控制。据报告,最常见的网络跟踪方法是通过电子邮件、社交媒体或短信进行不受欢迎的反复在线联系。其他网络跟踪方法包括访问受害者的账户、跟踪其 GPS 位置、在网上冒充受害者或联系受害者的朋友/家人。本次审查的结果突出了网络跟踪犯罪的前兆和模式,今后需要开展研究,探讨如何将现有的 "离线 "跟踪风险评估和类型学应用于网络跟踪案件,从而使有关当局能够制定有效的案件管理策略。

This scoping review maps the existing available literature on Black and minoritized women’s experiences with specialist Domestic Violence and Abuse (DVA) services in the UK to summarize current understanding and identify knowledge gaps. A comprehensive search was conducted across multiple databases and gray literature sources. All articles had to include Black and minoritized women’s experiences of DVA services. In total, 29 UK-based studies published between 2000 and 2024 were identified. Data were synthesized to identify key themes and gaps. Thematic analysis of the findings revealed three main themes: additional service needs, barriers to accessing support, and the pivotal role of “by and for” services. Our review concludes that “by and for” services—provided by and for minoritized women—which adopt an intersectional approach are crucial in addressing the unique needs of Black and minoritized “survivor–victims”, particularly in terms of language support, practical assistance, and community-related support. There is a need for more peer-reviewed literature to recognize the role of “by and for” services, using diverse methodologies to support Black and minoritized communities better.

Child abuse and neglect remain, unfortunately, a pervasive issue worldwide. Teachers play a critical role in identifying and reporting suspected child abuse and neglect and are often considered the “front line” due to their daily access to children. Although teachers are required to report suspected child abuse and neglect, concerns have arisen about teachers’ capability due to international instances of under- and overreporting. We therefore turned to empirical evidence to better understand teachers’ capacity to serve as accurate, well-informed mandated reporters. This comparative scoping review explored the extent and nature of empirical, peer-reviewed research on teachers’ mandatory reporting in Türkiye and the United States, countries that present contrasts in the mandatory reporting laws’ longevity and cultural norms about responsibility for children’s well-being. We followed Preferred Reporting Items of Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis-Scoping Review guidelines. We manually identified studies from seven electronic databases: ASOS Index, DergiPark, ERIC, SCOPUS, SOBIAD, ULAKBİM, and Web of Science. This search process identified 52 empirical studies. Findings shed light on the challenges and concerns surrounding teachers’ mandatory reporting responsibilities in both countries, particularly limited opportunities to learn about reporting requirements, the recognition of abuse and neglect, and multiple rationales for teachers’ hesitancy to report. However, some evidence also indicates the effectiveness of teacher training with regard to teachers’ policy understanding, confidence in recognition skills, and reporting frequency. These findings inform implications for policy development, teacher professional development, and subsequent research in both countries.

Sexual violence (SV) is a significant public health problem associated with poor health, social, and economic outcomes. Although services exist to support survivors of SV, many do not access these services. This critical review examines measures used to assess barriers and facilitators to post-SV services and whether these measures address the full breadth of concerns among SV survivors, particularly those who hold marginalized identities. Eligible studies had to be original and peer-reviewed, include a measure of barriers or facilitators to service-seeking, and focus on SV survivors. We reviewed 10 measures that assessed barriers and/or facilitators to mental health, medical, advocacy, and legal services among SV survivors. These measures were designed for and/or applied to survivors of intimate partner violence, human trafficking, military sexual trauma, child sexual abuse, and adult sexual assault. Populations sampled included college students, military personnel, gender and sexual minority youth, women living with HIV, and crime victims seeking legal services. Using a social-ecological model approach, we assessed barriers at the individual, interpersonal/community/provider, and structural/organizational levels. Barriers at the community level were largely absent, and only three measures addressed facilitators. Five measures provided some psychometric data with survivors, and only three incorporated survivor feedback in their development. Four measures included some cultural and/or identity-specific factors. Future research should prioritize the development of trauma- and violence-informed measures that incorporate survivor feedback and address diverse cultural and identity contexts to improve service access and utilization.

There is a growing body of qualitative research documenting the experiences of children growing up in the context of parental intimate partner violence (PIPV). Adolescents form an especially vulnerable group; yet there persists a systematic marginalization of their PIPV experiences in child maltreatment and violence exposure research. Qualitative research on adolescent PIPV perspectives can potentially amplify their voices and emphasize their unmet support needs and their developmentally unique strengths in achieving resilient outcomes. This can further inform adolescent- and youth-specific community and clinical intervention development and larger policy reform. This qualitative literature review includes 33 studies identified through an online research database search. Qualitative or mixed methods primary research studies that sampled adolescent participants aged from 13 to 19 years, published in English in peer-reviewed journals, and objectivizing any aspect of adolescent PIPV experience were included. Quality was assessed using the Critical Appraisal Skills Program checklist. Findings across studies were synthesized into eight overarching themes: Stifled Freedom and Autonomy; The Parentified Protector; Coping through Mental Escape, Creative Expression, and Cultural Identity; Older, Stronger, and Smarter during PIPV; Polyvictimization; Gender, Violence Acceptability and Dating Violence; and Felt Support Needs. This review sets the agenda for further qualitative, adolescent-first inquiry into the experiences of adolescents growing up with interparental violence, especially in low- to middle-income countries where intimate partner and spousal violence along with children and adolescents’ experience of it are doubly prevalent compared to the developed world.

In a recent paper published in Trauma, Violence, & Abuse , Farmer et al. purport to have critically examined the academic use of the term “Minor Attracted Persons” (MAPs) in published social science research. In the paper, their stated aims are to “understand how this body of scholarship defines and uses the terminology of MAP, conceptualizes sexual interest in minors, and its relationship with child sex offending, and the implications for child protection and safeguarding” (p. 4079). However, we believe that there are significant problems in their handling of this topic, their depth of analysis, and the selective reporting of research in the review that may demonstrate an inherent confirmation bias.

Institutional sexism emerges as a globally pervasive phenomenon, adversely affecting women subjected to gender-based violence. This societal harm demands scrupulous investigation to curtail its occurrence. To this end, a meticulous synthesis and scrutiny of international literature was undertaken via a systematic review, in adherence to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analysis declaration and standards, employing an inductive content analysis methodology. This exhaustive enquiry spanned esteemed databases, namely Web of Science, Scopus, PubMed, and PsycINFO, culminating in a total of 478 references, from which 27 select articles were rigorously examined. The Rayyan utility was instrumental in streamlining data organization and extraction, while textual coding and data analysis were accomplished through Atlas.ti. The review protocol was preregistered with PROSPERO, the International prospective register of systematic reviews (ID CRD42023436945). The outcomes highlight the critical need for states to give precedence to the development of policies that champion gender equality. Furthermore, the analysis reveals a pronounced deficiency in understanding the dynamics of gender-based violence, as well as a conspicuous neglect of feminist and intersectional perspectives by professionals within the legal and social realms.
