“…The first episodes of cyberstalking occur between ages 12 and 17 years [ 16 ]. The conceptualization of intimate partner cyberstalking (IPCS) has a marked affective and/or sexual nature [ 15 ], as it is likely to be perpetrated against the partner or to be an approach strategy toward the ex-partner [ 17 , 18 ]. IPCS is considered a form of gender-based violence in young people, because it includes those behaviors that, through digital means, aim at domination, discrimination, and, ultimately, abuse of the position of power where the stalker has or has had some affective and/or sexual relationship with the harassed person [ 15 ].…”

Background: Within the context of the widespread use of technologies by adolescents, the objectives of this study were to identify the perpetrators of intimate partner cyberstalking (IPCS) in adolescents; to analyze the relationship between IPCS and gender, age, sexting behaviors, pornography consumption, and ambivalent sexism; and to investigate the influence of the study variables as predictors of IPCS and determine their moderating role. Methods: Participants were 993 Spanish students of Secondary Education, 535 girls and 458 boys with mean age 15.75 (SD = 1.47). Of the total sample, 70.3% (n = 696) had or had had a partner. Results: Boys perform more sexting, consume more pornographic content, and have more hostile and benevolent sexist attitudes than girls. However, girls perpetrate more IPCS than boys. The results of the hierarchical multiple regression indicate that hostile sexism is a predictor of IPCS, as well as the combined effect of Gender × Pornography and Benevolent Sexism × Sexting. Conclusions: it is essential to implement sexual affective education programs in schools in which Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) are incorporated so that boys and girls can experience their relationships, both offline and online, in an egalitarian and violence-free way.

“…Social media are used to build trust between the perpetrator and the victim. When the victim transmits confidential data including pictures and videos, the perpetrator abuses them for blackmail purposes (11) . Social media firms are also responsible to identify the user with malicious intentions.…”

Objective: To address the modern privacy threats in data analytics by designing an efficient privacy preserving data analytics technique. Methods: The method applied is a non anonymized method that uses the concepts of synthesizing quasi identifiers and application of differential privacy. The proposed method was applied to three data sets viz. Adult data set, Statlog data set and Indian Liver Patient data set. All the data sets are freely available in the UCI repository. Findings: The study presents "Synthesize Quasi Identifiers and apply Differential Privacy" (SQIDP) which is proved to be a more efficient and scalable algorithm. Compared to anonymity based algorithms SQIDP is not prone to similarity attacks, background knowledge attacks, attribute disclosure, and inference attacks. Anonymization, cryptographic, SWARM, and randomization methods will reduce data utility whereas SQIDP offers 100% data utility. Hence it is more efficient than other techniques. SQIDP was applied on three different data sets with 270, 583, and 48842 records but the execution time of the algorithm remained the same for all three data sets. SQIDP is proved to be a better privacy preservation technique with 100% data utility because it is not anonymized that abides by the recommendation in many privacy legislations like GDPR (General Data Protection Regulation) of the European Union and PDP (Personal Data Protection bill) of India.

“…Com o advento da tecnologia emerge uma nova forma de perseguição perpetrada, denominado de cyberstalking (March, Litten, Sullivan, & Ward, 2020), que é caracterizado por um padrão de comportamento repetido, intencional e indesejado direcionado às vítimas (Spitzberg & Cupach, 2007). A sua incidência foi verificada inicialmente por Bocij e McFarlane, (2003), que observaram, dentre cada quatro pessoas perseguidas, um relato de vítima de cyberstalking.…”

“…Além do mais sabe-se que comumente o comportamento de stalkear alguém de forma online estar associado a um impulso obsessivo por perseguir alguém, além do uso excessivo e problemático das redes sociais (Wegmann, Oberst, Stodt, & Brand, 2017), isto faz com que o agressor gaste bastante tempo investigando as publicações que são compartilhadas em diferentes contas e perfis de suas vítimas (Kircaburun, Demetrovics, & Tosuntaş, 2018), que também está relacionado a necessidade de controlar os relacionamentos (March et al, 2020 Para além disso, considerando de forma específica o papel do agressor, Ménard e Pincus (2012) argumentam que pessoas que passaram por eventos traumáticos apresentam uma maior probabilidade de exibir comportamentos de perseguição, pois aprenderam a se relacionar com os demais de maneira abusiva e intrusiva, podendo apresentar estilos de apego inseguro, sintomas de ansiedades e conflitos relacionais, devido a busca por aprovação.…”

“…Outrossim, todos os traços da Dark Tetrad (maquiavelismo, narcisismo, psicopatia e o sadismo) foram preditores significativos do cyberstalking, possivelmente, isto possa ser explicado em função do anonimato e do desapego que são proporcionados pela internet, contribuindo para otimizar a natureza aversiva das características da personalidade sombria (Lyons, 2019). Posteriormente, estudo levado a cabo por March et al (2020) corroborou o poder preditivo dos fatores da dark tetrad em comportamentos de cyberstalking em parceiro íntimo, além de evidenciar que perpetradores apresentam uma necessidade de controle do relacionamento.…”

O cyberstalking, refere-se a um padrão de comportamento repetido, intencional e indesejado direcionado às vítimas. Considerando o contexto dos relacionamentos íntimos e o papel de agressor, verifica-se um maior envolvimento desse grupo em condutas antissociais e delitivas, entretanto, tal conduta ainda é pouco explorada pela literatura. Portanto, uma medida adequada para rastrear a perpetração do cyberstalking ajudará na compreensão da temática em diferentes contextos. Em dois estudos (N=467), foram avaliados os parâmetros psicométricos da Intimate Partner Cyberstalking Scale (IPCS) por meio de diferentes técnicas (e.g., Análise Fatorial Confirmatória, Teoria de Resposta ao Item), além de propor uma versão curta da escala. Ambas as versões apresentaram uma estrutura unidimensional confiável e apresentaram correlações semelhantes com maquiavelismo, psicopatia e narcisismo. No geral, os resultados mostram que a IPCS e sua versão curta são medidas úteis para a avaliação da perpetração do cyberstalking e seus correlatos no Brasil.
