Abstract | A growing body of empirical research strongly suggests that adolescents and young adults are increasingly becoming both victims and perpetrators of crime and abuse enabled by information technology. The US federal government has stressed technological, legislative, and law-enforcement solutions to these problems. Efforts to protect children have frequently focused on the dangers of adult sexual predators and efforts to prevent minors from gaining access to pornography. Those and similar efforts are notable, undoubtedly helpful, and terribly inadequate. Yet the need to teach students how to use the devices in a manner that is safe, secure, and ethical has been ignored. This article provides six steps higher education should take to help foster the educational and work-force training reform that is needed in this country. Higher education can and must help to prepare graduates who can keep America's computing society safe and secure. (ERIC). |
