Abstract

Violence in dating among adolescents is considered a public health problem and a predictor of marital violence. This systematic review aimed to analyse the scientific production on digital dating violence among adolescents, nationally and internationally. The search was carried out in the databases SciELO, LILACS, Scopus, PubMed and Google Scholar, in the Portuguese, English and Spanish languages. The final sample resulted in 34 international papers. Digital dating violence occurs in two ways: control and monitoring behaviours and digital sexual violence, both mediated by the Internet. We point to the silent power of violence, naturalized and perhaps taken as a part of the relationship. There is need to increase the number of Brazilian studies to further the phenomenon, in order to prevent this type of violence, as well as a more responsible and positive use of information an communication technologies by adolescents in dating relationships.
