As technology becomes increasingly embedded in daily life, research and practice highlight the growing misuse of digital devices by perpetrators of coercive control. While the broader relationship between technology and dating violence has been extensively studied, little is known about young people’s understanding of technology-facilitated coercive control (TFCC). This form of abuse is often entangled with normative digital dating behaviours, making it challenging to distinguish harmful patterns from everyday interactions. Given the prevalence of technology in the daily lives of young people, it is crucial to explore how they understand and interpret these behaviours. This presentation draws on qualitative findings from focus groups with young people (aged 16–25 years) (N = 28), examining their perceptions of technology use in dating relationships and its role in facilitating coercive control. The results underscore the significance of context in how young people understand and define TFCC, as well as the normalisation of certain TFCC behaviours, including monitoring behaviours. By centring young people’s voices, this presentation highlights the need for prevention strategies that address not only specific coercive behaviours but also the broader relational and technological contexts in which they occur.
