Abstract
Cyber world is undergoing constant and boundless development when cybercrime has always hindered its progress. The advantages of digitalization has inevitably enabled crime to expand its unhindered impact by physical limitations. As the Internet becomes accessible, cyberbullying inflicts social and mental wounds upon the victims. As the presence of cyberbullying becomes more prominent, awareness must be raised among Internet users of its insidious nature. If an individual is exposed to a criminally infested environment in his everyday lifestyle, there is a high possibility for him/her to conform to criminal behaviors and activities. Implications for Routine Activity Theory (RAT) are discussed in Taiwan cyberbullying incident. It is believed that the proposed capable guardianship strategy can protect Internet users from being victimized by cyberbullying, facilitate to cut down its circuit, and fight against it.
