Abstract

Bullying is defined as a systematic abuse ofpower; the development of the research program on school bullying is outlined over four phases. The distinctive nature of cyberbullying, and also of identity-based bullying, is outlined. Measurement methods are discussed, and the kinds of prevalence rates obtained. Arange of risk factors for involvement as a bully, or victim, are ummarized. Arange of school-based interventions are described, together with discussion of a meta-analysis of their outcomes. In summary, research and practice have gone hand-in-hand in the research
reviewed, and have had some success in at least reducing what is a significant problem in the lives of many children.
