摘要:The Internet has become a medium for people to communicate locally or globally in the course of business, education and their social lives. The increase use of the Internet has created an impact on the number of online harassing/cyberstalking cases. This exploratory study of 302 undergraduate and graduate students at a mid-Atlantic university found that 13% of students were a victim of cyberstalking. This study argues that cyberstalking and harassment will only decrease when the extent of the problem is fully understood and potential victims and law enforcement understand the protections necessary under the law.
