'''DARVO''' in information warfare stands for “Deny, Attack, and Reverse Victim and Offender”.
'''DARVO''' is a [[psychology|psychological]] method, often used by criminals (notably, abusers, specifically sex offenders), to avoid (if possible) the consequences of their actions.
The term is an acronym for its three components:
*'''D'''eny - first, the accused simply denies that any abuse ever took place (a form of '''gaslighting''').

*'''A'''ttack - then, when confronted with evidence, the accused attacks the accuser (and/or family and friends) for attempting to hold the accused accountable.
*'''R'''everse '''V'''ictim and '''O'''ffender - the accused claims that, in fact, they are not the perpetrator, but instead the actual victim in the situation (e.g., "she seduced me into having sex with her"). This involves both '''playing the victim''' and '''victim blaming'''.
