我们的社会依靠互联网的纯粹规模，技术力量和闪电速度来寻找不可估量的信息，探索未知的信息，并与几乎任何人，任何地方，任何时候都在全球范围内进行交流。互联网打开了以前未知的犯罪机会的窗口，不仅挑战，而且超越了所有物理边界，边界和限制，以发现，惩罚和减少似乎是这样一个全球比例的问题。捕食，威胁，威胁并通过复杂的缠扰战术引起了巨大的恐惧和恐惧。网络跟踪犯罪，立法干预措施以及专门为减少这一新兴全球犯罪而创建的预防措施。
Our society has come to rely on the sheer size, technological power, and lightening fast speed of the Internet to seek out immeasurable pages of information, explore the unknown, and communicate with virtually anyone, anywhere, and at anytime across the globe. Conversely, the Internet has opened windows of previously unknown criminal opportunities that not only challenge, but also transcend all physical boundaries, borders, and limitations to detect, punish, and diminish what appears to be a mounting problem of global proportion. As such, the Internet has literally become a fertile breeding ground for an entirely new and unique type of criminal offender hereafter known as the cyber stalker – an offender who uses the Internet as a tool or weapon of sorts to prey upon, harass, threaten, and generate immense fear and trepidation in its victims through sophisticated stalking tactics. This paper presents a glimpse into the deviant behaviors and tactics associated with cyber stalking crimes, legislative intervention measures, and preventative initiatives created specifically to curtail this emerging global crime.
