Focus on cyber abuse

The internet and cell phones provide new opportunities for communication, but with new types of communication follow new types of abuse. A new Campbell systematic review examines the effects of interventions implemented to eliminate cyber abuse. The researchers point out that interventions in this area are so new that further research is necessary to demonstrate the effects. They also highlight the need for interventions to provide education for parents to help them help their children and youth with online behaviour. This article was written by Nana Angell Hald, SFI Campbell and has been approved by the authors of the systematic review.
