The Rise of the Cheater
.From peeking at a neighbor’s test in school to sneaking a second helping
of dessert when no one’s looking, everybody seems to cheat a little
every now and then. In fact, if you’re like most people, statistics
show that you’ve probably already fibbed a time or two today. Lying and
cheating have been an ugly little fact of life for a long time, but
today’s generation of students and young professionals show a startling
trend in attitudes toward cheating: The average young person doesn’t
just admit to lying and cheating more often than previous generations,
they also often believe that lying and cheating are a necessary fact of
life. If you’re a student, chances are you’ve given someone the answers
to a quiz, “borrowed” a friend’s paper, or even collaborated on a test
when you shouldn’t. These are all behaviors that have been present in
academics for decades, but the alarming fact about this behavior is how
it sets adolescents up for their actions as an adult. Studies show that
students who regularly cheat in school are far more likely to
participate in dishonest conduct as adults, from swindling a customer to
cheating on a spouse. If adolescents today are behaving more
dishonestly than ever, what will they look like as adults tomorrow?

iPredator Inc
iPredator Inc. was
founded in September 2011 to provide educational and advisory products
& services to consumers and organizations on Cyber Bullying, Cyber
Stalking, Child Predators, Cyber Crime, Internet Defamation, Cyber
Terrorism and the new fields of ICT Forensic Psychology & ICT
Psychology they are pioneering. Created by a New York State licensed
psychologist and certified forensic consultant, Dr. Michael Nuccitelli, their goal is to reduce victimization, abuse, theft and disparagement from online assailants.
In addition to assisting citizens, iPredator
Inc.’s mission is to initiate a nationally sustained educational &
awareness campaign with the help of private, state and federal agencies.
In June 2012, iPredator Inc. launched their website, www.iPredator.co along with their forensics blog, Dark Psychology and Internet safety blog, Dr. Internet Safety. At
their website, they offer an enormous free resource library for site
visitors covering the vast range of Cyber Predators, Internet Safety,
Cyber Security, ICT Psychology, Forensic Psychology and Criminal
Psychology.
As Chief Operating Officer, Dr. Nuccitelli
became interested in the psychology and profiling of those who use
Information and Communications Technology to abuse, steal, taunt and
victimize others online in 2009. In 2012, Dr. Nuccitelli
and his team of expert consultants grew even more determined to develop
victimization prevention & intervention strategies for vulnerable
online users utilizing education, investigation, legal, law enforcement
and information technology experts.
At the center of iPredator Inc.’s products and services is Dr. Nuccitelli’s theoretical construct, iPredator. As a member and consultant to the American College of Forensic Examiners International, iPredator was the feature article in their 2011 winter issue of The Forensic Examiner published quarterly. Since 2009, Dr. Nuccitelli
has dedicated himself to learning the psychological composition of
those who are engaged in online malevolent activities. His definition of
iPredator is as follows:
iPredator: A
child, adult or group who engages in exploitation, victimization,
stalking, theft or disparagement of others using information and
communications technology (ICT.) iPredators are driven by deviant
fantasies, desires for power and control, retribution, religious
fanaticism, political reprisal, psychiatric illness, perceptual
distortions, peer acceptance or personal and financial gain. iPredators can be any age, either gender and not bound by economic status, race or national heritage.
Dr. Nuccitelli and his colleagues have compiled an enormous database leading to iPredator
Inc.’s resource library available at no charge to all site visitors.
Having read, reviewed and compiled these links, websites and resources,
he went on to develop the IPI Assessment Collection & IISC
Collection designed for parents, businesses, educators, healthcare
professionals, teens, adults and public figures offered at their website to take online and/or purchase. The IPI Assessment Collection & IISC Collection address cyber bullying, cybercrime,
cyber stalking, cyber terrorism, digital reputation, social media,
corporate disparagement and cyber predators. Interested parties can also
purchase the licenses to these assessments to use for their own
endeavors to educate and assess their communities, organizations and
businesses in their online activities and ICT safety practices.
Concurrent with these assessments, iPredator Inc. offers a unique educational & advisory-based membership service called iPredator Protected. iPredator Protected
functions to educate, advise and assist their members on the
appropriate strategies for prevention, intervention, investigation and
guidance if targeted by an iPredator. iPredator
Inc. services include trainings, educational seminars, phone
consultations and advisory, investigation, forensic and ICT Forensic
Psychology services for law enforcement, attorneys and court systems. iPredator Inc. also offers trainings on ICT Psychology and Digital Reputation Management for businesses and the general public.
iPredator
Inc. retains and consults with regional and national attorneys, law
enforcement, ICT security experts, criminal investigators and the
American College of Forensic Examiners International. Law enforcement,
the legal system, community organizations and national activist
organizations support iPredator Inc., their mission and the products,
services and valuable information they share at their website, www.iPredator.co.
