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 -----Original Message----- From: emmanuel.khisa@kadet.co.ke [mailto:emmanuel.khisa@kadet.co.ke] Sent: 03 February 2010 19:29 To: mureithi@summitstrategies.co.ke Cc: KICTAnet ICT Policy Discussions Subject: Re: [kictanet] Getting a hold on cybercrime against women (cyber pests!) 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!
