TY - JOUR PY - 2017// TI - Bodies and bullying: the interaction of gender, race, ethnicity, weight, and inequality with school victimization JO - Victims and offenders A1 - Kahle, Lindsay A1 - Peguero, Anthony A. SP - 323 EP - 345 VL - 12 IS - 2 N2 - The problem of bullying among youth is receiving more attention because of long-lasting detrimental consequences of victimization at school. Research demonstrates that gender, race, ethnicity, and weight are separately linked to bullying victimization; however, little is known about the interaction of these factors in relationship to victimization at school. This study utilizes the 2005/2006 Health Behavior in School-Aged Children (HBSC) data to investigate how bodies (i.e., gender, race, ethnicity, and weight) matter with youth victimization. Drawing from the 2005/2006 HBSC sample consisting of 7,143 youth, findings indicate that interactions of gender, race, ethnicity, and weight are linked to school bullying victimization.
