Research on violence on digital platforms have focused on how perpetrators exploit ano-nymity, Geo-tracking, blackmail and other tools to abuse a victim online and very little re-search has been done in regards on how society and organisations protect the victims. This thesis explores what organisations that work with domestic violence victims experience when it comes to digital technology. Four unstructured interviews have been done and a grounded theory approach has been applied to the data to try and find common themes. In this study it was found that among the participants there exists a plethora of ways to exploit digital technology and that in many cases the responsibility is placed on the individual or small organisational actors that may lack the resources to be able to protect sensitive data. I suggest that reversing the role and putting the responsibility on the system and system developers instead of the individual may be a better fit. (Less)
