Hardback. Condition: New. Before the advent of the widespread use of the internet, bullying was confined to school grounds, classrooms, and backyards. Now, the virulence of bullying has taken on new meaning, as bullies take to the web to intimidate, harrass, embarrass, and offend others. Through email, cell phones, text messaging, and social networking sites, bullies can carry out their bullying in many cases without ever having to confront their victims, and often without consequence. Whereas the audiences for humiliation in the past was often limited to those who witnessed the bullying and perhaps talked to others about it, now, bullying takes place in cyberspace, where images and audio can be posted online for whole school communities to witness, discuss, and comment on. The social, psychological, and sometimes economic trauma experienced by victims can be devastating, and in some cases, cyber bullying has crossed the line and became a criminal act.Because just about anyone can be the victim of cyber bullying, and because it often goes unreported, there are precious few resources available to victims, parents, teachers, and others interested in combatting this new form of bullying. This book provides, however, a thoroughly developed, well-researched analysis of cyber bullying - what it is, how it is carried out, who is affected, and what can and should be done to prevent and control its occurrence in society. The book captures the sensational, technological, and horrific aspects of cyber bullying while balancing these with discussion from perspectives about social computing, various academic disciplines, possibilities for public policy and legislation formulation, education, and crime prevention strategies. Using case examples throughout, readers will come away with a new sense of indignation for the victims and a better understanding of the growing problem and how to combat it.…

Binding loosened but holding. A Very Good copy. Printed court report for the trial, The State of Rhode Island vs. George W. Congdon (1883). The trial began on November 12, 1883. Congdon was charged with the murder of Christopher G. Wilcox. The report also refers to the incident as the "Warwick Cove tragedy" and gives a concise summary of the murder and the events before and after it. Wilcox, a 43-year-old farmer, and Congdon, a 25-year-old fishermen, had an ongoing dispute about who had the rightful ownership of a number of scallop shells in Old Warwick, Rhode Island. Previous to the murder, Congdon and Wilcox went to court regarding the matter, and the verdict ruled against Wilcox. On July 31, 1883, Congdon and Wilcox happened to both to be at Warwick Cove, and the two had a heated exchange. Sometime during the argument, Congdon drew his pistol and fatally shot Wilcox four times. Central to Congdon's defense is his claim that he shot Wilcox in self-defense because Wilcox was trying to strike him with an oar. The prosecutors representing the State of Rhode Island were Stephen Cooke, Jr., Frank S. Arnold, and Attorney General Samuel P. Colt. The attorneys representing Congdon were Willard Sayles and A. J. Cushing. A mistrial happened when one of the jurors was found to be unqualified. A new trial began on November 12. A "Not Guilty" plea was entered for Congdon. Much of the report contains the transcriptions of witness testimonies and cross-examinations during the trial that began on November 12. Among the witnesses were some of Wilcox's relatives, Congdon's father (also named George), and local residents of Warwick. The jury found Congdon to be guilty of manslaughter. Congdon was sentenced to twelve years in State Prison at hard labor. The Contents of the report are listed as follows: " Empanelment of Jury," "Indictment," "Opening Address" by Colt, "Testimony in Chief for State," "Opening Address for Defense" by Cushing, "Testimony for Defense," "Testimony for State, In Rebuttal," "Closing Argument for Defense" by Sayles, "Closing Argument for State" by Colt, "Charge to the Jury" by Justice John H. Stiness, "Justice Supreme Court," and "Verdict, Guilty of Manslaughter.".…
