Defining Online Aggression: From Cyberbullying to Nonconsensual Pornography
Abstract
The internet has become an inescapable part of our lives, and while it makes our lives easier, it also exposes us to online threats ranging from identity theft to denial of service to phony lottery/sweepstake scams. Among these online threats are those that are carried out with the direct intent of harming another person or group of individuals. This category of crimes is referred to as cyber aggression and includes cyberbullying, cyber-harassment, and cyberstalking. As technology expands, so does the opportunity for new forms of online aggression such as doxing and revenge porn. It is becoming difficult to keep up with new trends in acts of online aggression or distinguish between cybercrimes that appear to have similar definitions. This chapter acts as an introduction to online aggression by providing an overview of older and emerging forms of cyber aggression.
