In Australia, victim-survivors of domestic and family violence (DFV) are increasingly using closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems. This paper presents the findings from a world-first study into how victim survivors of DFV experience the use of CCTV systems. The findings demonstrate that CCTV can have beneficial impacts on the wellbeing of victim-survivors but also carries risks.

Police body-worn camera (BWC) technologies are deployed by all Australian police agencies, including in frontline responses to domestic and family violence (DFV). This paper presents the findings from the first Australian study focused on how women DFV victim-survivors view and experience BWC technology in police call-outs and legal proceedings.
