Cyber technology has had a major impact on the way that offenders and victims interact. For example, the use of social media and other online platforms has made it easier for offenders to target and harass victims, and to share information about victims with others. This can lead to increased fear and anxiety for victims. Additionally, the use of technology can make it harder for victims to get the help they need, as they may be scared to seek assistance out of fear that their abuser will find out or that they don’t know how to reach out for help. Overall, the use of technology has made it easier for offenders to commit crimes and harder for victims to seek help and support.

Given the “short arm” of predictive knowledge in the field of cyber policy and infrastructure, it is important to approach the development of these systems with caution and careful planning. This means taking a comprehensive and multidisciplinary approach that considers the potential risks and challenges that may come up. It also means engaging in regular review and evaluation of existing policies and infrastructure, and making adjustments as needed in response to changes in technology and the broader environment.
