What is Perpetration

The author of this chapter provided a comparison of cyberbullying-related issues across the diverse cyber laws of countries. A definition and distinction between cybercrime and cyberbullying and the impact of cyberbullying on individuals of various ages, socioeconomic, and sociocultural backgrounds were discussed. The cyberbullying provisions in national cyber laws of the top five cyberbullying victim countries were reviewed. Then they were compared to Bangladesh's Information and Communication Technology Act, 2006, and the Digital Security Act, 2018. The final section of the chapter compares the legislation governing cyberbullying in India, Brazil, the United States of America, Belgium, and South Africa to Bangladesh's acts. The comparisons of the crimes demonstrate why the acts are more infamous in Bangladesh than in other nations with a higher rate of cyberbullying victims. Some future recommendations for the Bangladeshi government by examining the country's legislation with the international community and identifying new research possibilities for the future were recommended.
