Discussion: Cyber-Victimization

If you have ever been harassed by frequent phone calls, visits, or being followed by someone, especially if you have asked this person not to do this, then you know the fear that this behavior can cause. What if this person sends constant emails to you or posts frequent messages about you on social media? What is the difference, between online and offline victimization, if any?

In this week's Discussion, you examine specific types of offline victimization with similar acts of victimization that occur online. You then research and find articles that focus on how this type of victimization might impact a selected age group.

To Prepare for this Discussion:

1. Review this week's Learning Resources related to different types of victimization.

2. Consider and select one of the following pairs of victimizations:

• Cyberstalking vs. Conventional Stalking

• Online Harassment vs. Off-line Harassment

• Cyberbullying vs. Face-to-Face Bullying

3. Select one of the following age groups: children, adolescents, adults, or older adults.

4. Search the Internet and the Walden library for at least 2 articles regarding the potential negative impacts each of your selected victimizations has on your selected age group.

Post a summary of the article(s) you found in your research. Compare the online versus off-line victimization from the pair you selected by responding to the following questions:

• What is the difference in prevalence between the two?

• What difference is there in terms of effects on the victim in each?

• Are there different long-term implications for the victim between the two forms of victimization? What are those implications?

Use proper APA format and citations
