Proposed Thesis Title: EFFECTS OF CYBER BULLYING AMONG CRIMINOLOGY

STUDENTS ON THE WAKE OF COVID -19

Background of the study

Cyberbullying is defined as bullying that occurs through the use of digital devices to
support deliberate and hostile behavior by individuals who intend to harm others by sending
threatening messages. It can take any form, such as SMS, applications, or online platforms where
people can view, interact with, or share content. Cyberbullies may spread rumors, post
embarrassing photos or videos, or create fake profiles in order to send, share, or post false,
harmful, or negative content such as private information about someone else, which may cause
embarrassment or humiliation and may lead the victim to commit suicide.

Despite the fact that cyberbullying is still a relatively new field of study, it is regarded as
a serious public health issue that is closely linked to adolescent behavior, mental health, and
development. The growing global adoption of the Internet and the popularity of social media
platforms among young people have had an impact on this situation, with the majority of
children and adolescents experiencing cyberbullying or online victimization at some point in
their lives. Bullies in virtual environments are not limited by space or time, creating new venues
for cyberbullying with no geographical boundaries. Cyberbullying harms many aspects of young
people's lives, including invasion of personal privacy and psychological disorders. Because
perpetrators can act anonymously and connect, cyberbullying may have a greater impact than
traditional bullying.

The spread of the COVID-19 pandemic has altered how people live, work, and socialize,
and may even have changed the reasons why they harass one another. Social media has had a
significant impact on the way students interact. While there are numerous advantages to using
social media, cyberbullying has emerged as a potential disadvantage, raising concerns about its
impact on mental health. One of the most frequently asked questions in recent months has been
whether bullying has gotten better or worse since the COVID-19 outbreak began. Early on, there
was concern that as young people spent more time online, cyberbullying incidents would rise.
Furthermore, because schools quickly transitioned to virtual educational activities, many students
may have been given access to technology with insufficient help or supervision to survive the
extended time at home. Social media has had a significant impact on the way students interact.
While there are numerous advantages to using social media, cyberbullying has emerged as a
potential disadvantage, raising concerns about its impact on mental health.
 This study aims to extend prior contributions and provide a comprehensive evaluation of
the effects of cyberbullying among USST Criminology Students from a global perspective, with
the focus being on prevalence, associated risk factors and protective factors across the
University.
