[kictanet] Getting a hold on cybercrime against women (cyber pests!)

[muriuki mureithi]

Hi Emmanuel

Just a glimpse of the literature review data 
-- 'Self reports to WHOA between 2000 -2008 indicates that the   cyber
stalkers are   predominantly men representing 49.5% while women cyber
stalkers were significant at 28.5%. Thus, women are a significant
contributor to cyber stalking. The victim is clearly the women, 72.5% of the
victims were women while men victims accounted for 22% of the cases'
.	In 71% of the cases, the cyber stalking did not result in offline
threats.  Nevertheless the 29%  offline threats is significant representing
one in three cases
The woman is overwhelmingly the victim both by men and  sometimes other
women! That's  the motivation for the study

Cheers 
MM

This is a great piece! I wonder whether men are immune to this vice hence
the concentration on women.
Maybe there will be an opportunity to do this but I opine that we should
ensure we don't fall into the problems girl child activism and neglect of
the boy child...especially on this sms stalking one!

Have a great evening listers!
