中文摘要：

      由於網際網路具有跨國性開放的特性，且內容異動頻繁及具快速傳播之特質，民主先進國家對於網際網路內容普遍以業者自律為基礎，法律則作為規範言論的最後一道防線。但針對近年日趨嚴重的網路霸凌狀況，各國均討論是否有設置專法之必要性。
       本文參考美國近年之霸凌法案及反網路霸凌立法變革暨判決分析，並簡述我國現行適用網路霸凌之法制規範及判決分析，期望透過文獻回顧及比較分析來比較我國現行法制與美國法制異同；藉以分析我國設立網路霸凌專法之必要性。
    後經介紹iWin網路防護機構針對網路霸凌之單一窗口處理機制，得到我國並未有立即設立網路霸凌專法的必要性。除了預算及適用法條的考量外，亦提供iWin網路防護機構在處理機制上的改進和建議。
    期待藉由完整且妥善的法律規範，拘束並合理保障人民憲法上言論自由和不受他人侵害的權利。

English Abstract ：

The Internet has experienced phenomenal growth since the 1990s and has become the fastest growing technology humankind has ever created. This creation not only facilitates economic growth, but also provides speedy, cheap, and worldwide communications between human beings. Nevertheless, the dark side of the Internet is that it has brought about abundant dissemination of illegal and harmful materials. Among them, cyberbullying is perhaps most frequently found. Legislative attempts trying to curb cyberbullying can be found in many countries, and yet, it still seems unstoppable.

   This dissertation intends to study the various kinds of cyberbullying and the legislative control on the part of the United States and Taiwan. As can be found, although there are specific Acts in the United States regulating and penalizing cyberbullying on the Internet, the results do not seem to be satisfactory. On the other hand, in the case of Taiwan, while relevant articles in the current Criminal Code and other special legislations may be applicable to cyberbullying, the problem seems to be lying in the enforcement side. The establishment of the IWIN can be considered a good start, yet it remains to be seen whether it will fully develop its capacity. Some case studies demonstrate that IWIN is at least operating on the right track.
