Application: Technology and Cyber-Bullying

Research indicates as many as 50% of
U.S. youths are victims of cyber-bullying. The majority of these victims seldom
report the cyber-bullying to parents or law enforcement (Hinduja & Patchin,
2008). While having similar characteristics of traditional face-to-face
bullying, cyber-bullying reaches beyond the playground. Cyber-bullies can enter
into unsuspecting victims’ homes across the country and the world. Once
cyber-bullies have access to victims, they can proceed to use coercion,
intimidation, harassment, and threats. This can result in short- and long-term
effects on the victims.

For this assignment, examine
technologies used for cyber-bullying and consider effects cyber-bullying might
have on victims. Then evaluate the effectiveness of tactics currently used by
law enforcement to combat cyber-bullying.
