We utilize it throughout the day as part of our everyday routine. This phenomenon demonstrates our reliance on ever-strengthened technology. Moreover, the digital revolution has transformed and continues to affect the world and our lives. Even though technological improvements have a positive impact on our lives, there is overwhelming evidence that digital technology might have a harmful impact on human behavior, ethics, and small businesses.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Human Behavior: Cyber Stalking\/Cyber Harassment” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n According to Hazelwood and Magnin (2013), cyber stalking and cyber harassment have become widespread issues that demand criminologists’ and criminal justice experts’ attention. Although there are no nationwide assessments of the scope and pervasiveness of these crimes, research of various towns and universities raises concerns. The Department of Justice (1999) estimated that roughly 20% of stalking cases in Los Angeles and 40% of stalking cases in New York used the Internet as the medium for this criminal conduct in a discussion of the scope of cyber stalking. According to recent research, over 40% of college students have experienced cyberstalking at some time in their life (Reyns et al., 2012). Based on these figures, as well as the rising usage and availability of electronic gadgets, I think it is apparent that cyberstalking and cyber harassment deserve the criminal justice system’s attention.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][et_pb_accordion open_toggle_text_color=”#000000″ closed_toggle_background_color=”#544FFF” toggle_icon=”"||divi||400″ icon_color=”#FFFFFF” use_icon_font_size=”on” icon_font_size=”32px” _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”default” toggle_text_color=”#FFFFFF” toggle_font=”Archivo|600|||||||” toggle_font_size=”18px” body_font=”Archivo||||||||” body_text_color=”#000000″ min_height=”181.6px” border_width_all=”2px” border_color_all=”#000000″ locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Cyber Harassment (CH)” open=”on” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Cyber harassment \u200centails tormenting, annoyance, terrorizing, offending, or threatening an individual over email, instant chat, or other means with the purpose of injuring that person. Harassing communications includes all aspects of conventional harassment, but also includes the use of technological devices to send messages that make a person feel personally targeted for damage. Creating a Facebook account in someone else’s name and using that profile to insult others is an example of CH. Additional instances of CH include sending improper text messages (e.g., of a frightening or sexual nature) or building a website with photo-shopped photographs of an uninformed individual engaged in sexual actions (Hazelwood & Magnin, 2013).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][et_pb_accordion_item title=”Cyber Stalking (CS)” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” open=”off”]<\/p>\n Cyberstalking is defined as “the repeated pursuit of an individual utilizing electronic or Internet-capable devices” in its simplest form (Reyns et al., 2012, p. 1). Any unsolicited electronic messages that are threatening, coercive, or frightening are considered repeated pursues. In the end, stalking is a crime that causes the victim to feel dread, terror, intimidation, tension, or worry. The victim may lose a sense of control over his or her own life as a result of the stalker’s repeated nature, as the victim never knows when the stalker may emerge or contact him or her again. The stalker’s ability to access the victim at any time and from any distance undermines the victim’s feeling of security and can lead to a perpetual state of terror (Hazelwood & Magnin, 2013).<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_accordion_item][\/et_pb_accordion][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/sites.wp.odu.edu\/wjacob\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/27849\/2022\/03\/software-img-25.png” title_text=”software-img-25″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-14vw|-10vw|||false|false” custom_margin_tablet=”0vw|0vw|||false|false” custom_margin_phone=”” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ specialty=”on” admin_label=”Document” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#F6F2EA” custom_padding=”||0px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_4″ specialty_columns=”3″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_row_inner _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column_inner saved_specialty_column_type=”3_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”e864d11f-3dab-4fa3-ac06-4f0e1a260807″ header_font=”Archivo|600|||||||” header_text_color=”#010101″ header_font_size=”80px” header_line_height=”1.2em” header_font_size_tablet=”40px” header_font_size_phone=”24px” header_font_size_last_edited=”on|desktop” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”03ed4834-a81a-41ec-bfd6-98a6a9949751″ header_font=”||||||||” header_3_font=”Archivo|700|||||||” header_3_font_size=”30px” header_3_line_height=”1.4em” custom_margin=”||8px||false|false” header_3_font_size_tablet=”20px” header_3_font_size_phone=”16px” header_3_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.23.1″ _module_preset=”5ff55506-da7d-4dd7-b409-9d62c7203201″ text_font=”Archivo||||||||” text_text_color=”#000000″ text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” link_text_color=”rgba(221,221,221,0.57)” custom_margin=”-9px|||||” text_font_size_tablet=”15px” text_font_size_phone=”14px” text_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” header_font_size_tablet=”55px” header_font_size_last_edited=”off|desktop” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n The CYSE 368 Cybersecurity Clinic<\/strong> was a transformative service-learning experience where I worked directly with microbusinesses and local government agencies to provide cybersecurity as a service.
