Stalking

In this part the discussable subject is cyber stalking that these days we heard a lot about it in news.

Cyber stalking simply refers to behavior of stalking other people by the use of internet, email or any electric communication devices. These threatening behaviors are such as following a person; leave written massages or objects, identity theft, online verbal abuse and sending damaging email from victims to people who know him. There are some facts about cyber stalking, for instance; individuals who do stalking think they are anonymous and can get away with anything. the most happened cyber stalking are not related to romantic or love stories but the majority of the cases that happen are stranger to stranger. And statistics show over 80% of victims is women. It is obvious when these devices like computers and internet become more popular so naturally cyber stalking is expected to increase. It is important to know the main reasons that cause cyber stalkers to stalk; one of the reasons is sexual harassment that this type is the most common type of stalking online .the online harasser has not fear for physical relation and does not have to leave the comfort of his home to find and harass targets. The other one is that stalkers think the victim or target of their desire is in love with them. This behavior starts when the stalkers will be rejected from the target. The other reason is hate or revenge that the stalkers do it to take revenge on victims.

The last one is that usually victims are selected randomly by someone they do not know. In this part the harasser or stalker wants to show his skills to themselves and their friends.

In future posts I will continue the subject of cyber stalking more widely.
