Funded Activity Summary

Harnessing the power of ordinary people to prevent cyber abuse. Cyber abuse is a serious social problem that requires an urgent solution. The project aims to improve our understanding of cyber abuse intervention by ordinary citizens by utilising innovative research methods. The project expects to generate new knowledge about the mechanisms of prevention of cyber abuse victimisation and to produce an evidence-based intervention training program. Expected outcomes of this project include a new theoretical paradigm as well as evidence-based policy recommendations for preventing cyber abuse. These could provide significant benefits, such as reduced physical, psychological and economic costs associated with victimisation and the burden on the police and criminal justice system.
