The text's authors call the Internet the new, wild frontier of deviance today because it is a new and rapidly changing context where traditional social norms and rules may not apply and where deviants can remain anonymous and escape accountability. The education and cleverness of Internet deviants may contribute to their ability to engage in deviant behavior online, but it is not the main reason for the authors' characterization of the Internet as a new frontier of deviance.
