Study on Regulating Cyberbullying from the Perspective of Criminal Law
* Author to whom correspondence should be addressed.
Abstract
As the advance of the times and the popularization of the internet, a large number of netizens have entered cyberspace. Along with this, the phenomenon of cyber bullying has become rampant and a pressing social issue, but the criminal legislation of our country seems to lack sufficient measures to regulate such dangerous behavior. Currently, scholars have two main viewpoints regarding regulating cyber bullying. One revolves around existing legal frameworks or regulations and aims to address cyber bullying through an interpretive approach. Another argues that the existing criminal charges have numerous flaws and fail to adequately meet the regulatory demands, thus advocating for the creation of specific charges. Therefore, it is crucial to study the current situation and deficiencies in China’s criminal regulation of cyber bullying and explore practical solutions to address these shortcomings.
