I wonder if any security people have some tips for internet harassment for adults. Especially concerning ex-partners. I might be making a tip sheet and would like some resources to go by. I have some ideas but haven't written anything down yet. The people I am doing this for have done some searches on law enforcement pages and our own RCMP have at various times offered internet safety tips at their web site. I know the FBI also offer this. I wonder if any one has found anything specifically on this "partner assault and Internet safety tips" I just found this site on goggle http://www.owjn.org/concern.htm rather than just point out resources does anyone do research in this area? I am trying to hook up with an National(Canada) Research council member who does Information security in terms of computer science and find some legal studies research project for graduate school that might show the implications of this hard security research in terms of its legal-social affects. I was going to present a paper on the harms of hacking in Chicago but our panel did not get accepted. My paper is not all that great in terms of dealing with the question of the harms of hacking but you can read it for hacking cases anyways if you have time or inclination. Computer crime: is hacking really that bad? An exploration of the cases and laws concerning unauthorised access to computers. it is here. http://www3.sympatico.ca/ptimusk/LAWS4908.html Peter Timusk, B.Math, just trying to stay linear.

Another example for the danger of tracking down abused ex-partners via Internet: I have met an organiser of a women's shelter who argued she didn't want a homepage because it would help violent husbands finding the shelter where their wives are now; of course they are not listed in telephone directories. She didn't know, however, that some well-meaning person had already set up a website: with complete address, telephone number, photos (and a call for donations). Apparently, the violent husbands hadn't figured that out (yet), either.

----- Original Message ----- FR and similar sites also enable people to track down others who may not wish to be tracked down e.g. violent men tracking down ex-wives that they have abused; parents or children tracking down those children or parents who do not wish to have contact. Individuals may be literally ex-directory (re phone directories, to protect themselves), but may not realise they are not 'ex directory on the Internet' until it is too late. This is related to your stalking category, but maybe separate (the individuals are well known to each other, whereas stalking is perhaps more often associated with strangers).
