ABSTRACT

Crimes are illegal but some crimes are legal. We think of crimes such as stalking, physical abuse by parents or teachers, body shaming as not a crime. But a crime is a deliberate act that causes physical or psychological harm, damage to or loss of property, and is against the law. This study tried to come in front by noticing a psychological phenomenon known as “anonymity” as a cause of criminals to commit a crime. It is a meta-analysis research.
