AIC: New research examines experience of dating app users who report sexual violence to dating platforms

Link to: User experiences of reporting dating app facilitated sexual violence to dating platforms

The Australian Institute of Criminology has released new research examining the reporting of dating app facilitated sexual violence to online dating platforms, drawing on a survey of Australian dating app users.

  • The study found overall positive experiences reporting to online dating platforms among victim-survivors, although experiences differed depending on gender and sexual identity. LGB+ women reported the lowest levels of satisfaction with platforms’ responses and heterosexual men the highest.
  • Victim-survivors who were satisfied with how online dating platforms responded to their reports, and who said the platforms had provided them with information about support services, were more likely to say they would report again in the future.

Victim-survivors who said online dating platforms had given them information about support services were also more likely to report to the police.

AIC; Video visitation in prison and father–child relationships

 


Link to: Video visitation in Australian prisons: Perspectives on father–child contact

The Australian Institute of Criminology has released new research examining the use of video visitation in Australian prisons and its impact on father–child relationships. The study, by researchers from Sydney University, University of Wollongong and Western Sydney University, shows:

  • There is significant support for the use of video visits, especially when used to complement in-person visits.
  • Video visits improved the quality of father–child relationships, particularly by giving fathers access to the social world of the child via audiovisual connections.
  • Benefits of the technology included reduced travel time and costs associated with in-person visits, the fact that children did not need to visit correctional environments with the consequent harms associated with screening and security, and the reduction in contraband associated with in-person visits. Barriers included the lack of physical/non-verbal communication with children, and the varied technical issues that affected the operation of the equipment.
