Following up on the research about the trolling laws, I decided to go directly to the source to find out about the laws surrounding trolling and the malicious communications act.

I contacted 101 and was put through to a civilian advisor called Craig; whom gave me a lot of information surrounding the malicious communications act, and told me search criteria’s to enter in on the internet to pull up the results that I needed.

Following Craig's advice here's the results that i came up with:

*search criteria

Sentencing guidelines for malicious communications act



Current punishment for Malicious communications act 1988-1999-2003

Guidelines on prosecuting cases involving communications sent via social media

  1. (http://www.cps.gov.uk/legal/a_to_c/communications_sent_via_social_media/


Postal Services Act 2000






The reason that i searched for both malicious communications act, and also the postal services act, is that i was thinking to do a contrast on old and new formats of trolling/malicious harassment, as trolling is the new hate mail!


Hopefully this research would help our story, and we'll be able to include this in on our Trolling news story package!.
