- Regarding cyber-policy and infrastructure, “short arm” predictive knowledge pertains to the perspective and ethical demeanor being instantaneous. It is currently not possible to preemptively know the outcomes and consequences of the decisions made. Therefore, when policies are implemented and infrastructure is being considered, forward thinking is vial to producing the best outcome. They need to be incessantly monitored and improved as to prevent as many shortcomings as possible and retain their validity. Comprehensible and concise standards for cyber policies being implemented to deter cybercrimes and maintaining the infrastructure that connects the systems within a network aid in securing the safety and wellbeing of the public. It is not possible to predict every outcome possible. Therefore, the best way to move forward is to learn from previous altercations and implement stable and secure policies and infrastructure accordingly. Upholding and sustaining the soundness of said policies and infrastructure coincides with their implementation.
- The effects that cyber technology has on the interactions between victims and offenders can vary. On the more positive side, the victim may have more success evading those who attack them online by changing the circumstances involving the network or devices they are being targeted through as opposed to someone who may be harassing them in person. However, on the negative side, trying to prove the validity of cyber-harassment to a jurisdiction is more difficult and convoluted than that of physical harassment, even when proper evidence is presented. Additionally, it is much easier for the offender to evade legal consequences of harassment due to the ease at which they can remain anonymous over the internet. This anonymity also encourages more people to commit harassment as being able to avoid confrontation with the victim, as well as being able to commit the harassment from anywhere with the proper hardware, increases accessibility to the victim.
