dc.description.abstractHollywood films with the titles “You’ve Got Email, “Identity Theft”, show us how the Internet has emerged and transcends into our daily activities. The Internet has been used as a medium of communication, making new friends and connecting with the old friends. It is unfortunate that the Internet has also become a place for abusive relationship even though sometimes the victims and perpetrators might not meet face to face. Cyberbullying, cyber harassment and cyberstalking are some of the reported incidents which are reported in daily newspaper. Thus, in some countries, new laws are being introduced to curb the problems of victimization online. Racism, gender, disabled and elder community can be one of the factors that lead to abuse and victimization. Thus, promoting safety is not sufficing, if no legal action is taken to curb and control the problem of victimization. A quick reference by using online search engine is made to daily local newspapers to identify the most reported cases related to Internet. Most of the existing literature on victimization of children and women on the Internet are derived from developed countries such as United States of America (USA) and United Kingdom (UK). This paper examines the reported cases of victimization online in relation to women and children in the Malaysian newspapers by examining news related to cyber pornography, cyberbullying, and cyber harassment. Identifying the most reported incident on the Internet is significant for future research as people especially children and women are prone to risk and danger on the Internet. Finally, this paper suggests that a continuous and a consistent strategic needed not only from the government, but also from the industry not only in order to create awareness among the public, but also and to curb the problem from becoming serious.en_US
