This topic addresses the issue of cyberbullying, which is a specific
type of antisocial behavior facilitated by social media. It allows for a
focused exploration of how digital platforms can contribute to juvenile
delinquency and offers opportunities for developing targeted interventions.
Statement of the Problem:
Topic: The Influence
of Social Media on Cyberbullying and Its Role in Juvenile Delinquency.
Relevance: This
research investigates the connection between social media and the prevalence of
cyberbullying among teenagers, and how this behavior contributes to juvenile
delinquency. As cyberbullying becomes increasingly common in the digital age,
understanding its impact on youth behavior and delinquency is crucial for
developing effective interventions. This study aims to explore the ways in
which social media platforms can be breeding grounds for cyberbullying and to
identify strategies for prevention and support for victims. By examining this
specific aspect of juvenile delinquency, the research seeks to contribute to
the development of safer online environments for young people.
Proposed Methods:
Approach: The
project will primarily involve a comprehensive literature review, supplemented
by a short video illustrating the impact of social media on cyberbullying and
its connection to juvenile delinquency.
Research Activities: I
will review a wide range of academic literature to analyze the relationship
between social media usage and cyberbullying among juveniles. This will include
examining psychological studies, behavior analyses, and sociological research
to understand the complex influence of social media. The focus will be on
identifying patterns, risk factors, and potential preventive measures discussed
in academic circles.
Additional Sources: I
will incorporate five scholarly sources and a total of ten sources, including
reputable reports, case studies, and relevant statistical data, to ensure a
thorough understanding of the topic.
