Resumo(s)
A violência doméstica constitui um fenómeno complexo que, para além das formas tradicionais de agressão, inclui estratégias de controlo coercivo destinadas a limitar a autonomia e a liberdade das vítimas. Com a crescente utilização das Tecnologias de Informação e Comunicação, o smartphone assumiu um papel central nas relações interpessoais, podendo igualmente ser utilizado como instrumento de vigilância, monitorização e controlo por parte do agressor. O presente projeto tem como objetivo analisar o papel do smartphone enquanto ferramenta de controlo coercivo no contexto da violência doméstica, identificando as principais formas de abuso tecnológico, os seus impactos nas vítimas e os desafios que coloca à prevenção, investigação e intervenção criminal. Para o efeito, propõe-se um estudo qualitativo baseado em entrevistas semiestruturadas a indivíduos condenados pelo crime de violência doméstica, procurando compreender as práticas de utilização do smartphone para fins de controlo e as justificações apresentadas pelos agressores. A revisão da literatura evidencia que o abuso tecnológico representa uma extensão das dinâmicas de poder e controlo já existentes nas relações abusivas, tornando a violência mais persistente, invasiva e difícil de detetar. Conclui-se que é fundamental reconhecer o smartphone como um potencial instrumento de violência doméstica, reforçando a necessidade de respostas institucionais adequadas, mecanismos de proteção das vítimas e estratégias de prevenção ajustadas à realidade digital contemporânea.
Domestic violence is a complex phenomenon that extends beyond traditional forms of physical and psychological abuse, encompassing coercive control strategies aimed at restricting victims’ autonomy and freedom. With the widespread use of Information and Communication Technologies, smartphones have become central to interpersonal relationships and may also serve as tools for surveillance, monitoring, and control by perpetrators. This project aims to analyse the role of smartphones as instruments of coercive control within the context of domestic violence, identifying the main forms of technology-facilitated abuse, their impact on victims, and the challenges they pose to prevention, investigation, and criminal intervention. To achieve this objective, a qualitative study based on semi-structured interviews with individuals convicted of domestic violence is proposed, seeking to understand how smartphones are used for controlling purposes and the justifications presented by offenders. The literature review highlights that technology-facilitated abuse represents an extension of existing patterns of power and control in abusive relationships, making violence more persistent, invasive, and difficult to detect. It is concluded that smartphones should be recognised as potential instruments of domestic violence, reinforcing the need for appropriate institutional responses, effective victim protection mechanisms, and prevention strategies adapted to the realities of the digital age.
