Abstract

As part of the increasing human rights agenda of the last century, the individual right not to be bullied or harassed in school has gathered considerable academic, social and political attention. This article reviews recent developments in this area, including: the definition and scope of bullying behaviours; roles in bullying; methods of study; correlates of bully and victim status; coping strategies, and peer support against bullying; the outcomes of large-scale intervention studies; and suggestions for future action.
