ASPECT AND SPECIAL DISTINCT NATURE OF CYBER BULLYING
Main Article Content
Abstract
The phenomenon of cyber bullying has recently emerged, and it has grown due to the steady increase in the use of the Internet and social networking sites especially among young people and adolescents, especially university and high school students.
especially among young people and adolescents, especially university and high school students. The research attempted to study the main problem regarding the reality of cyber bullying, and whether it has an individuality and a special nature that distinguish it from what might be suspected, following the descriptive and analytical approaches.
The research concluded that cyber bullying is a form of traditional bullying, but it is distinguished from it by the electronic means by which it is carried out, and that there is no unified and stable concept in jurisprudence and legislation, of cyber bullying, yet any accurate definition of it must include three elements; the behavior in which it occurs, the means through which is committed, and the end that the offender aims to achieve. Cyber bullying has a special nature and subjectivity, which is embodied, on the one hand, in the electronic violence that characterizes it, represented by the ability of the bully to hide and appear under pseudonyms, which leads to an imbalance of power between the bully with greater technical experience and the technically weaker victim, and, on the other hand , in the concept of systematic and repetitive behavior, as the bully himself does not necessarily contribute to the repetition of bullying behavior, but rather it is possible for him to repeat this behavior by others, by sending it or directing it to other people.
The research concluded by suggesting the necessity of imposing effective censorship on electronic communication sites, obligating those in charge of them to ban the accounts of those who return to practicing cyber bullying through them, and enacting the necessary laws to criminalize and punish cyber bullying behaviors, including electronic harassment and prosecution.
