How does cyber technology impact interactions between offenders and victims?

The internet has removed the need for in person interaction between offenders and victims. Thanks to the evolution of cyber technology and social media, we now have the ability to communicate at lightning-fast speeds from anywhere in the world with internet connection. This advancement allows for offenders to constantly interact with their victim multiple times a day. Proximity is no longer a factor; we are all so much closer as individuals in cyber space compared to the real world. This leads to my next point that the internet is borderless. The offender could live in the same town as their victim or be on a completely different continent. The borderless nature of the internet creates jurisdictional issues when attempting to seek law enforcement involvement. The laws of each land are different, what may be punishable by law in one country may not be in another. The internet has been established in the United State for quite some time and we are still working through getting our internet laws and regulations caught up to modern technology. In some other parts of the world the internet is even newer, some countries do not have even have legal precedents to pursue cybercrimes fully. This makes it extremely hard for victims to get justice. Lastly, the internet allows for individuals to falsely represent themselves online. The anonymity can make it difficult to track down the actual offender. In closing the internet makes it somewhat easier to commit crimes and has changed the interactions between offenders and victims. The laws of the land need will most likely never completely catch up to technology due to the constant change, but more efforts can be made to start redefining existing legislation and lobbying for new internet regulations to keep users safe.
