Happy Slapping.

Since the internet, a form of violence has been created known

As happy slapping. Happy slapping is considereda fad in which

someone assaults an unwitting victim while others record the assault.

Though the name usually refers to relatively minoracts of violence

murder, rape, and sexualassault have been classifiedas "happy

slapping" by the media. It Is seen as entertainment for many young

people who take part in these videos.
