Comparing cyberbullying and school bullying among school students: prevalence, gender, and grade level differences
Social Psychology of Education, 2015Co-Authors: Noam Lapidot-lefler, Michal Dolev-cohenAbstract:Recent technological developments have added Cyberspace as part of adolescents’ social milieu. Bullying, which is prevalent in adolescents’ social environment, also takes place in Cyberspace, although it is believed to have a more potent and harmful effect. A study of cyberbullying and FtF bullying could elucidate critical implications for children, educators, and policy makers. The present study examined cyberbullying and school bullying among 465 junior-high and high-school students (136 boys and 329 girls) in Israel, through an online survey. Findings revealed that the phenomenon of cyberbullying is less prevalent than school bullying. In the majority of cases in Cyberspace, the identity of the cyber bully was known to the victim and the audience. According to the findings, in Cyberspace, boys tended to bully more often than did girls; no correlation was found between gender and victim or gender and audience. The implications of these findings are discussed in the context of online communication theory.

Toward a safer and more secure Cyberspace
Communications of the ACM, 2007Co-Authors: Herbert S. Lin, Alfred Z. Spector, Peter G. Neumann, Seymour E. GoodmanAbstract:Given the growing importance of Cyberspace to nearly all aspects of national life, a secure Cyberspace is vitally important to the nation, but Cyberspace is far from secure today. The United States faces the real risk that adversaries will exploit vulnerabilities in the nation's critical information systems, thereby causing considerable suffering and damage. Online e-commerce business, government agency files, and identity records are all potential security targets."Toward a Safer and More Secure Cyberspace" examines these Internet security vulnerabilities and offers a strategy for future research aimed at countering cyber attacks. It also explores the nature of online threats and some of the reasons why past research for improving cybersecurity has had less impact than anticipated, and considers the human resource base needed to advance the cybersecurity research agenda. This book will be an invaluable resource for Internet security professionals, information technologists, policy makers, data stewards, e-commerce providers, consumer protection advocates, and others interested in digital security and safety.

western frontier or feudal society metaphors and perceptions of Cyberspace
Social Science Research Network, 2002Co-Authors: Alfred C YenAbstract:The Article examines how metaphors influence perceptions of Cyberspace. Among other things, the Article studies the comparison of Cyberspace to the American western frontier and the metaphor's construction Cyberspace as a "place" whose natural characteristics guarantee freedom and opportunity. This supports an often-made claim that Cyberspace is different from real space, and that government should generally refrain from regulating the Internet. The Article surveys the basis of the western frontier metaphor in academic history and popular culture and concludes that the metaphor misleads people to overestimate Cyberspace's "natural" ability to guarantee freedom and opportunity. The Article accomplishes this in part by offering feudal society as a metaphor for Cyberspace and showing how prominent features of Cyberspace correspond to key components of feudal society. The Article does not claim that Cyberspace is thoroughly feudal, but it does argue that the feudal society metaphor valuably dislodges the western frontier metaphor and reminds us that law has an important role to play in shaping the future of the Internet.
