摘要:With the emergence of new technologies and innovations the World is also facing alarming increase in the crimes and a cyber crime is one of the most vulnerable crimes emerging now a day. India too is no exception in the paradigm of cyber crime. Cyber crimes in India are gaining momentum from simple e-mail type of crime to serious crime like hacking, source code theft etc. Cyberstalking is on the rise and women, senior citizens and children are the most likely targets. This paper examines cyber stalking as an example of a crime that is simultaneously both amenable to, and resistant of, traditional forms of legislation, depending upon the way in which the possibilities of the Internet are exploited. The paper attempts to discuss the modes of cyber crimes, categories of cyber stalkers, psychology of cyber stalkers, motives of cyber stalkers and the nature victims. The paper also attempts to suggest measures to prevent the crime and deal cyber stalkers.
