Misogynistic Cyber-Bullying Case Study

146 Words1 Page

A lack of action from law enforcement, in regards to misogynistic cyber-bullying cases, stems from decades of social misogynistic biases and misogynistic law enforcement protocols observed in early domestic violence cases. One example of an early misogynistic law enforcement protocol is given in the book, “Hate Crimes in Cyberspace” by Daniel Keats Citron; “Police training guides instructed officers that it would be unreasonable to remove abusive husbands from the home because they were simply responding to their wives ‘nagging.’ Psychiatrists reinforced this view with a medical diagnosis: battered wives allegedly suffered from ‘feminine masochism’ that propelled them to nag their husbands into beating them; they derived pleasure from the abuse,

  • Sociological Perspective On Bullying

    531 Words  | 3 Pages

    In most cases, when we think about bullying it is approached from a psychological perspective but there is a sociological perspective that is not talked about as much. Sociologists study actions and relationships in terms of the social contexts in which people live their lives. In other words, sociology is the study of society and social interactions. Psychologists study behaviour in terms of the attributes and processes inside each individual. They focus on the people involved in the situation rather than the situation as a whole.

  • People Should Be Prosecuted For Statements Made On Social Media

    435 Words  | 2 Pages

    Someone might argue that if people do nothing against cyberbullying then it might lead to physical violence and that shouldn’t happen. In source 3 it states “ the lack of immediate emotional feedback in cyberbullying allows aggressors to often continue the hurtful behavior unchecked.” This tells us that cyberbullying happens and often continues because they don’t have emotional feedback from being there and unlike cyberbullying people “immediately see the hurt they have caused to the target” which most people wouldn’t do. What should happen is cyberbullying prevention in schools to deter people from and warn others of the effects of cyberbullying. In source 1 it states “And bypassing the Prevention Act, we’re deterring people from engaging in cyberbullying by showing such behavior punishable by crime that won't be tolerated” although I don’t agree with the punishable by crime statement I do think that people should be warned and deterred from cyberbullying in
