2007

The West Australian posted an article by Alison Batcheler dated September 4, 2007 titled, "Barbed wires." The article explores the "darker corners" of cyberspace. The term is not defined in this article, but is implied to mean the web/Internet. Batcheler's article describes how cyberspace has become a vulnerable place for children because of how easy it is for predators to stalk anonymously. She states that parents should be very careful and monitor their children online because in today's society, children know almost as much if not more than their parents when it comes to cyberspace and new technology. She describes how filters are great, but easy to get around for both kids and predators and that CMCs are the breading ground for misconduct. This is an interesting article that looks at cybercrime from a different angle than the rest of the articles I found.
