Many local and foreign legislation suffer from the scarcity of effective
laws to deal with this crime and combat its growth or even a
mechanism for prevention, as the judiciary is still dealing with it
within the traditional punitive texts in many countries.
And to explain the crime and the means of committing it and how to
deal with it in the Iraqi legislation and the legislation of some
comparative countries and the statement of the criminal
responsibility for it, as well as its social and psychological effects,
especially cyber-bullying in it.
It has become clear how dangerous the cyberbullying crime is, which
requires a lot of effort to combat it, but it remains far from the proper
foundations for it. Its variance, and the difficulty of legal adaptation
to it, as well as the material nature of the crime, is one of the most
important difficulties in the ways of combating this crime. The lack
of legislation of one or some countries in the face of this crime leads
to frustrating the efforts made in other countries, because we are
talking about a transnational crime. With the increase in the
number of cases considered by the investigation authorities in the
field of electronic crime and their annual rates remarkably high, as
modern technology plays a role in the uses of people in general in
various areas of social and economic life, and these uses have a
negative impact represented in the spread of crime by these modern
means and the ease of penetration into private life. For individuals
to confront cybercrime as an application of the efforts made by the
investigation authorities in this field.
