Introduction
  Over the past few years, the face of
crime has been a constant change right from the common causes of crime to the
current technological crimes. This has been facilitated by development and the
growth of the technology. Cases of white collar crimes including cyber-bullying
as well as cyber stalking among other very dangerous silent or nonviolent
crimes are affecting the world today. The technological development has
represented rather a very sophisticated kind of offenses that calls for
advanced technology to deal with it. The law enforcement agencies have been on
the verge of improving and employing the use of technology as a means of
combating the crime before it goes out of hand.
Cyberbullying

  In essence, the kind of bullying is
becoming common online more that it was at the offline level. Bullying involves
a form of physical or verbal abuse by a person. It is an act that has developed
over many decades and has remained a critical issue that requires being
addressed in the right manner. Bullying can, however, develop to crime to some
extent where it expands and become elusive. This can affect the society in a
much harder way as many may consider it being a kind of discrimination or acts
of prejudice against them or a specific group.
    With
the development of technology, crimes related to bullying have gradually
shifted from offline to online. This development has made them more elusive
considering the strength and the reach of technology such as the internet and
the like (Luppicini, 2012). People may exchange inflammatory message using the
online platform which culminates to some bullying which may eventually lead to
more serious issues.
Evolution of
cyber bullying

  As the human societies advance so
do, the crime and the related issues do. The interaction between people has
substantially changed due to with the development of Internet and the related
technologies. The technological development has been of help across the
different sections of the society but on the other hand, it has brought its
share of transgression. One of this is the evolution of the tradition bullying
to the modern form of bullying that involve the use of the internet and other
computer technology to offend a person.
     There has been a proliferation of kind of
bullying provide a space where people can assault each other which is more
developed than the passing of notes and developing certain kind of rumor, which
in this case made the tradition part of bullying. Due to the development of
telecommunication and the Internet, there has been an overall change in the way
people pass information from one person to another. The developments of phones
and social media have rather overtaken the forms of bullying and is now pausing
as the best way to pass assaultive information to different people.
    In
many cases, the issue of cyber bullying in the modern day has become more sophisticated
because it is anonymous, and the actors remain faceless. The law enforcement is
getting hard time to investigate or establish the bullies due to lack of proper
identity. Cyber bulling has turned to be more humiliating given that it reaches
a greater extent within a short period. The easy to access and inexpensive
technological devices have further culminated the kind of bullying given that
internet has become more accessible (Kizza, 2016). Furthermore, cyber bullying
has become a bit more invasive than the traditional kind of bullying because
there is no interaction between the bullies and the victims. They enjoy
detachment from the crime that they continue to perform.
Technological
advancement
  This development in technology has
further intensified the kind of cyber bullying given that today there is some
anonymous blogging (Sahlin, 2015). This continues to fuel issues of ethical
discussions in the cyber space together with issues of harsh topics that has
proven to be the most liked by different online users. Blogging has developed
to become the most indescribable kind of cyber bullying.
