Hey, David.
Thanks for having me.
Yeah, of course.
So it's a very gendered term.
Typically, females are the individuals who are wearing skirts.
And in the UK, especially, we're trying to get rid of that term.
And I'll tell you a bit why that now.
What the behavior is, is when individuals use cameras or recording equipment to take pictures or images.
of genitalia underneath somebody's clothing.
So you might have also heard of the term down-blousing, which is looking from the top of an individual.
And it doesn't just have to be female victims, it can be male victims or any type of gendered victim.
Yeah, of course.
So we run a team whereby we're interested in all different types of image-based sexual abuse.
So you may have heard of the term revenge pornography, deepfake sexual abuse, which is more in the media, currently cyber flashing.
I'm sure your listeners might be okay with some of those terms associated with that.
And upskirting was one of the terms which wasn't receiving much psychological-based intervention or assessment.
And so we wanted to be one of the first individuals, the first groups, to actually explore that through a psychological lens.
Yes.
Yeah, of course.
I'm really glad you said the phrase psychopathic traits.
