1INTRODUCTION TO CYBER CRIME
Week 3- Discussion 1
Differences between cyber bullying and cyber stalking are that cyber stalking can be
described as a term that can be used in order to describe all people that engage in online
harassment whereas Cyber bullies do not describe a person who engages himself in harassment
activities, cyber bullies engage themselves in online and it is strongly identified with young
people. Activities that engage adults are called cyber stalking and when children as well as
adolescents are engaged, it can be called cyber bullying. Cyber stalker can be described as an
accurate word which describes all the forms of harassment that are done online (Hango, 2016).
Harassment done by a schoolyard on road is called as a physical encounter but when harassment
is done in cyber space is done by masking themselves behind a computer screen. This computer
screen gives a physical barrier between a perpetrator and a victim. Most of the online harassment
is done by hiding the anonymity of the person. People who bully people on the internet hardly
bully anyone in person. Cyber stalking does not always have to be harmful but cyber bullying is
harmful. Stalking might not be harmful but bullying proves to be harmful in most of the cases
(Wright, 2018). The victims are mentally hurt and tend to hurt themselves physically. Numerous
people suffer from depression and insomnia as a result of cyber bullying.
Yes according to me cyber bullying is definitely a crime and cyber bullying should be
pursued legally in U.S courts of law.
