“…Many studies provide evidence that youth are more likely to cyberbully others if they have been victims of cyberbullying themselves (Bauman, 2010;Marcum, Higgins, Freiburger, & Ricketts, 2013;Mishna, Khoury-Kassabri, Gadalla, & Daciuk, 2012;Navarro & Jasinski, 2013;Vandebosch & Van Cleemput, 2009). Such studies support a growing body of research suggesting that engaging in reckless behavior, in general, increase children's chances of becoming victims (Reyns, Burek, Henson, & Fisher, 2013;Schreck, 1999).…”

Bullying on the pixel playground: Investigating risk factors of cyberbullying at the intersection of children's online-offline social lives. AbstractAlthough cyberbullying as a serious social problem has received significant attention within the mass media as well as among researchers, experiences of cyberbullying among children in the U.S. are still occurring (Dean, 2012;Salazar, 2010). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between social factors (i.e., sociability, social networking site use, Internet use via cell phones), risky online behaviors (i.e., lying about age, sexting, and harassing others), children's emotional attachment to interactions within SNS, and parental involvement in children's online social lives on the likelihood of being victims of cyberbullying as well as offline bullying. We found that increased sociability and parental involvement decreased the likelihood of being both cyberbullied and being bullied offline; daily SNS use, Internet use via cell phones, emotional attachment to interactions within SNS, and engaging in risky online behaviors increased the likelihood of being both cyberbullied and bullied offline. The findings suggest (1) cyberbullying is not categorically distinct from offline bullying; (2) future research is necessary to explore the qualitative impact of various risky online behaviors on both online and offline bullying; and (3) research is necessary to further understand the qualitative dimensions of parental involvement and emotional investment in online social life in decreasing online and offline bullying.

“…Mishna, Khoury-Kassabri, Gadalla, and Daciuk (2012) found that of the 30% of students involved in cyberbullying, either as a perpetrator or a victim, 25.7% reported being involved as both, a bully and a victim. Recently, Marcum, Higgins, Freiburger, and Ricketts (2014) found that both males and females were more likely to be cyberbullied if they had been victims of cyberbullying. They suggested that bullying after being bullied can create a feeling of power and vindication among the former victim (Marcum et al, 2014).…”

As technology has rapidly advanced, so have the opportunities for perpetrators to leverage these improvements for nefarious purposes with interpersonal cybercrimes where the intent is to harm a person by making them fearful, upset, or vulnerable. In this review of the literature, the state of knowledge about interpersonal cybercrimes will be explored. This will include cyberbullying and cyber aggression, cyberstalking, and cybersexual exploitation. Within this review, definitions of these crimes will be provided, along with knowledge regarding prevalence rates and incident characteristics, along with issues confronting each subfield of cybervictimization and responses and initiatives that have been taken to combat these crimes. Although this review will undoubtedly become dated in only a few years given the rapid advancement of these crimes, it serves as a call that academics and stakeholders alike must keep pace with those seeking to harm others through technology.

“…However, besides such constructive capabilities, social networks can be used as a tool for harassment and abuse of others (Lenhart et al, 2011). There can be different forms of cyberbullying such as sending repeated messages, spreading unfavorable personal information, and participating in insulting others (Marcum et al, 2014). In the past, students were often bullied at school life.…”

Technology has many positive effects on education, but negative effects also exist. One of the negative effects is cyberbullying spreading out of school boundaries to the social networks. The increasing popularity of social media among youngsters engenders cyberbullies who exploit the virtual environment besides the usual emails. This distresses the students and adversely affects their families, teachers, and others around them. Although research studies mainly concentrate on prior education, there seems to be a need to investigate the situation in higher education. This study focuses on students studying technology and related disciplines, who are hence likely to be well connected with cyberspace, and explores their awareness about cyberbullying. The findings reveal that female students have significantly less awareness than males. This study will help address some gender issues in cyberbullying.
