Abstract: Online and offline threats and intimidation among youngsters – A comparison Around 1 in 5 youngsters in the Netherlands experiences online violence. They often become victims of online threats and intimidation. This can have severe emotional and psychological consequences. Girls and lgbtq+ youth are more frequently affected by online violence and suffer greater impact than boys and heterosexual peers. Online and offline violence often overlap, complicating victim experiences. Despite increasing attention and support services, many young victims struggle to find help. It is recommended that police and support organizations address the overlap between online and offline violence. Next to that specialized training regarding the influence of gender norms and heteronormativity is needed.
