Abstract
Digital technology has permeated many aspects of our day-to-day activities, with many organisations becoming ‘digital by default’. With this increased connectivity and digital technology use come many benefits; however, these benefits are often offset by more adverse consequences. Since 2003, one consequence that has rapidly increased in prominence in the research literature and the media is cyberbullying. This chapter will provide readers with a brief outline of cyberbullying and then an introduction to the remainder of the book.
