Overview

This book examines the topic of policing of the Internet by presenting readers with two sides to each point under debate. Are teens in need of policing or are the dangers they face greatly exaggerated? Readers will explore whether or not the Internet requires special policing and/or regulation, the threats posed by cyberterrorism and identity theft, and the role, both positive and negative, of social networks. Two essays on cyberbullying are also included. Perspectives are presented from eyewitnesses, scientific journals, government officials, and many others.
