RESEARCHING MEDIA AND COMMUNICATIONS
Rationale
Online abuse and cyber crime is rife on social media as well as other sites across the
globe and different countries are attempting to deal with the situations in a different manner.
However, in United Kingdom the cyber crime can be broken into two different categories.
The primary one is the most common abuse directed to someone, often by ex partners,
classmate or colleague. The second category is the one where the blackmailers threaten the
victims, if their demands are not met. Women are mainly the victims and the attackers often
threaten to post their morphed pictures online. Cyber crime has now become a global
problem and is rapidly increasing. The research will focus on the issues faced by the victims
and how they reacted on this. In addition to this, the research will also propose some
strategies in order to regulate the issue to some extent.
Aims and objectives
The aim of the research is to analyze the current situation of cyber crime and the ways
it can be regulated.
The research objectives are as follows:
i. To examine the current scenario of cyber violence.
ii. To find out why is this issue increasing rapidly.
iii. To find out which section of the society is mainly targeted.
iv. To recommend a number of better strategies that could be used for the regulation of
cyber violence.
