“…Furthermore, and in an extension to previous research, we include dark personality traits as additional predictors of online sexual harassment perpetration in the present study. Recent works have found such dark personality features to be associated to various antisocial behaviors both in offline and online contexts, including online trolling, aggression, sexual aggression, cyberstalking, and sexual harassment (Buckels, Trapnell, & Paulhus, ; Carton & Egan, ; Furnham, Richards, & Paulhus, ; Jones & Olderbak, ; Pina, Holland, & James, ; Smoker & March, ; Zeigler‐Hill, Besser, Morag, & Keith Campbell, ). These personality traits share a common nature of being socially aversive, hence the “dark” moniker (Paulhus & Williams, ).…”

Online video games are social spaces for players from around the world. They use this space to form communities, relationships, and identities. However, gaming communities are not always welcoming, and some are even perceived as being "toxic." A prevalent issue is online sexual harassment, which is keeping many women from participating in the gaming community. Research on the factors contributing to the problem is limited, though. The present study replicates and expands previous research, using a sample of 856 online gamers. The study supports earlier findings that found hostile sexism and social dominance orientation as predictors of sexual harassment perpetration in online video games. In addition, we expanded the previous research with additional predictors: machiavellianism, psychopathy, and gamer identification predicted higher sexual harassment perpetration. Our results have implications for the gaming community's role in curtailing sexual harassment and making itself a more inclusive community.

“…) suggest that women (more so than men) use technology as a monitoring “toolbox” to maintain committed relationships. In a similar vein, Smoker and March (, p.393) concede: “the motivation to attain intimacy through preserving or establishing a relationship may provide women with the drive to conduct IPCS [increased opportunities for intimate partner cyber‐stalking]”. On the flipside, Marcum et al .…”

“…However, like cyber-bullying, other central premises are far from straightforward. Notably, Smoker and March (2017) suggested that the boundary between men and women in participating in and experiencing cyber-stalking behaviour is blurred. Some researchers (e.g., Helsper and Whitty 2010;Purcell et al 2001Purcell et al , 2010 found that women were more likely than men to cyber-stalk their partners covertly.…”

This article is a theoretical treatment of feminist epistemology of crime, which advocates the centrality of gender as a theoretical starting point for the investigating of digital crimes. It does so by exploring the synergy between the feminist perspectives and the Tripartite Cybercrime Framework (TCF) (which argues that three possible factors motivate cybercrimes – socioeconomic, psychosocial, and geopolitical) to critique mainstream criminology and the meaning of the term “cybercrime”. Additionally, the article examines gender gaps in online harassment, cyber‐bullying, cyber‐fraud, revenge porn, and cyber‐stalking to demonstrate that who is victimised, why, and to what effect are the critical starting points for the analysis of the connections between gender and crimes. In turn, it uses the lens of intersectionality to acknowledge that, while conceptions of gender and crime interact, they intersect with other categories (e.g., sexuality) to provide additional layers of explanation. To nuance the utilitarian value of the synergy between the TCF and the feminist perspectives, the focus shifts to a recent case study (which compared socioeconomic and psychosocial cybercrimes). The article concludes that, while online and offline lives are inextricably intertwined, the victimisations in psychosocial cybercrimes may be more gendered than in socioeconomic cybercrimes. These contributions align the TCF to the feminist epistemology of crime in their attempt to move gender analysis of digital crimes “from margin to centre”.
