Abstract
Contemporary voyeurism involves using modern technology, such as cameras on mobile phones and covert miniature cameras, to observe other people undressing, showering, using the toilet or participating in sexual activities, for the purpose of sexual gratification. It is also referred to as upskirt, down-blouse, intimate covert filming and video voyeurism. To deter contemporary voyeurism, the New Zealand Law Reform Commission recommended the introduction of three new criminal offences, which target making, publishing and possessing a voyeuristic recording. This paper will examine the scope of these three proposed voyeurism offences and compare them with the existing voyeurism offence in the United Kingdom and the proposed voyeurism offences in Canada and Australia.
