摘要
Each medium we know of is defined by 1) the grammar which defines it and 2) the regulatory approach which definer it. Yet Cyberspace has introduced new harms and new crimes which have never before existed while some crimes have pre-existing antecedents. Regulation over the Internet may be based upon new harms. Rather than physical harm per se, the realm of psychological violation may provide the basis for a cause of action, yet we still speak in terms of physical or corporeal impact. What is the nature of punishment when liability or guilt is found to Exist and who metes out such punishment? This article proposes a typology of criminal behavior in cyberspace.
