Protective Group Risk Specialist Joel Svensson spoke to ABC Breakfast TV about his thoughts and experience with Technology Abuse in Domestic and Family Violence situations, and perpetrator behaviour.

At Protective Group we find the use of Technology Abuse is prevalent in nine out of ten Domestic and Family Violence cases that are referred to us.

Technology Abuse isn’t only prevalent when there is a breakdown in a personal relationship but can occur as normal abuse would, just not physical.

We see each day the perpetrator controls their victim and the physiological and emotional effect it has on the victim, the victim questions themselves every minute of the day “am I being watched, are they looking at me”.

We thank Joel for taking time and to share his experience, and ABC News Breakfast for allowing Joel to share his thoughts.
