Before cyber technology became widespread, most victims of crime were close in vicinity to their victims. Actions such as bullying and harassment were things that happened face to face, arguably making them more personal and serious which increased the likelihood of law enforcement discovering and being involved in the incident. With the implementation of cyber technology into our society, offenders could now attack anyone that they find online from virtually anywhere. The main problem with this progression is that it became easier for offenders to get away with bullying, stalking, and harassment since the internet allowed them to cover their tracks more effectively. Interactions between victims can happen through social media sites that allow people to post personal information such as pictures of family members or common personal belongings such as a car or house. Therefore, stalking was made easier due to all the tools available due to cyber technology. Another example is photos, which usually carry location data and when this is combined with knowing the date and time of a post, it can be used to track people even more effectively. Offenders are also able to message potential victims online as well as pretend to be someone else. Therefore, not only does the victim not know their offender, but if they do find out, it might not be the correct person. Attackers accomplish this by using someone else’s photo or IP address to deceive victims and more importantly law enforcement. One common scam requires the offender to build a relationship with the victim and then ask for a large sum of money. One thing law enforcement did gain from technology is the ability to go back and see the interactions between offenders and victims since these conversations are often recorded and saved on their respective social media apps and websites. Therefore things such as verbal (or written) threats can be found in conversations and are hard to be refuted compared to verbal hearsay.
