Abstract

This chapter describes various features of regulation of cyber space by the UK. The regulations for unauthorized access and related activities, Stalking and stalking related activities, gender sensitive offensive communications and sexual offences are discussed in detail. The issue of consented and unconsented sexual exposure in the internet and various regulatory provisions related to that is also analyzed. A discussion is followed where an emphasis is made for creation of new women centric laws for their protection in cyber space as the current laws, which are dealing crimes against women in cyber space, are found to be archaic.
