According to the Criminal Code, several offences can be
charged against the person committing the crime; these include offences such as
harassment, threatening messages, identity fraud, intimidation, misuse of
personal information and more. (Government of Canada, 2015)
Under the criminal law, there are three forms of cyberbullying:
·
Defaming somebody, this is done by the bully in
order to harass the victim by causing harm to their reputation with the use of
some information. The harm to reputation must have a written record, which is
called libel. In this case the victim may file a suit against the bully.
·
The bully can threaten a victim by making them
believe that they are in an unsafe environment, where they cannot get from one
place to another without being safe or facing violence. Schools must create a
safe environment for their students, and must take action against the bully.
·
A person responsible for negative consequences
on purpose.
