Module 4/Discussion

Post a comment in the discussion board answering the question: “Apply the phrase victim precipitation to cyber victimization” and respond to two other students posts.

Victim precipitation can be applied to cyber victimization because just like how the victim’s behaviors affects their decision making in real life, it affects the victim’s decision making on the internet as well. During victim precipitation, victims often research behavior that contributed to the victimization to help cope with victimization and prevent it in the future. Without a healthy coping mechanism, this could make victims make poor decisions on the internet while searching for answers. For example, clicking on links with viruses or finding unreliable information.
