  • Smartphone sharing with intimate partners in Australia

    Open AccessMolly Dragiewicz, Jeffrey Ackerman et al.ARTICLENew Media & Society2026References: 30

    This article reports findings from the first study to investigate smartphone sharing in intimate relationships in Australia. Efforts to strengthen cybersecurity have been hindered by a lack of knowledge about the prevalence and dynamics of smartphone sharing, resulting in blind spots in cybersecurity design and policy. Based on a survey of 967 Australian adults who use smartphones and have been in an intimate relationship, we found that 70% share…

    Purpose This study builds on knowledge of intimate partner violence (IPV) perpetration by examining theoretically important aspects of this crime within an Australian community sample.

Method An online survey advertised on social media yielded an analysi…

    Jeffrey Ackerman, Jeffrey M AckermanARTICLEThe British Journal of Criminology2016Cited by: 2References: 42

    This research, inspired by the cognitive interviewing literature, investigates misreporting of intimate partner violence when survey participants interpret items in unintended ways. In over 23 per cent of victimizations reported by university-aged males and in over 12 per cent of victimizations reported by females, follow-up questions revealed that purported violence was either accidental or done in a manner where neither partner took the event s…

  • Ethnic Group Differences in Police Notification About Intimate Partner Violence

    Open AccessJeffrey Ackerman, Tony P LoveARTICLEViolence Against Women2014Cited by: 6References: 25

    We analyzed data from the National Crime Victimization Survey to test whether individuals from different ethnic groups differentially notify the police after incidents of partner violence. After finding that minority groups notified the police about intimate partner violence (IPV) events more than non-minorities, we found that socioeconomic status differences between minorities and non-minorities explained a statistically significant proportion o…

  • Police Intervention and the Repeat of Domestic Assault

    Open AccessR B Felson, Jeffrey Ackerman et al.ARTICLECriminology2005Cited by: 23References: 27

    We use the National Crime Victimization Survey to examine whether domestic violence is less likely to be repeated if it is reported to the police and if the offender is arrested. Our longitudinal analyses suggest that reporting has a fairly strong deterrent effect, whereas the effect of arrest is small and statistically insignificant. We find no support for the hypothesis that offenders retaliate when victims (rather than third parties) call the …
