Abstract
The growth and development of cyberspace, while providing an opportunity to enhance the standard of living of human beings, has also provided new tools for engaging in illegal and immoral activities that violate human rights, including the right to security and the right to privacy. Cyber stalking as a repetition and continuation of threatening behavior that causes psychological, emotional, and sometimes physical harm to the victim is one of the most widespread crimes in cyberspace that has much in common with its traditional type. But committing this crime in a space other than its traditional one has made cyber-ambushing practice more difficult and more difficult to detect, prove and prevent. Therefore, in order to prevent the irreparable effects of this crime, criminal policymakers have always sought to take appropriate and effective measures to prevent the victims of these crimes and in this regard have been inspired by theories of daily activities and lifestyle. The prevailing view of these theories is that the victimization of individuals is not accidental; Rather, individuals often expose themselves to motivated criminals as an attractive target by engaging in deviant behaviors, thereby facilitating their victimization
