Abstract
This chapter centres on the emergence of technology in cases of Domestic Abuse using two adjunct parts; (1) how digital coercive control using smart home devices is now an attack vector for abusers and (2) it sets out to highlight the use of a governance model incorporating a risk-based approach following the principles of the Cyber Security Maturity Model (CSMM). Recent reports in the media have identified cases of Domestic Abuse where attackers are using smart home devices to exert coercive control over their partners or former partners. Research importantly highlights a lack of awareness of technology facilitated Domestic Abuse by victims, support workers and law enforcement. This has resulted in the development of a new proposed framework titled SHADA—a Smart Home Anti Domestic Abuse framework, practical challenges and areas of e-policing to better engage stakeholders. The chapter concludes with additional areas of further research and provides an outlook on the use of newer technologies such as AI and considerations for the privacy of citizens in smart societies.
