| This study examined whether there is a correlation between gender, as well as race, and a perceived threat in regards to characteristics of cyberstalkers. Past research has shown that what people perceive to be threatening varies based on gender and race. With the advances in technology, cyberstalking has become a growing issue, yet there is no standard law across the United States to combat the problem. This study was conducted to help determine whether the difference in perception of threat could further hinder the development of creating a standard law for the crime. It was found that there was a difference between genders and what is perceived to be threatening, but no difference in terms of race. |
