Technology-Based Harassment in the Context of a Broader Victimization History

• In Event: Dating Violence and Harassment among Adolescents: Findings from Recent National Surveys

Abstract

While the role of technology in youth victimization has been increasingly studied, much of this research has examined it as an isolated event or studied it within the context of bullying. Using data gathered as part of the national Technology-Involved Harassment Victimization (THV) Study, this research will explore the use of technology in poly-victimization. More specifically, the research examines the correlations between technology-involved harassment and it will also examine the use of technology in peer victimization. The implications for school bullying and harassment policies will be discussed.
