Summary: "Examines the consequences of bullying and assesses interventions that attempt to prevent and to respond to it. The report details the harmful short- and long-term consequences of bullying, both for those who are the targets of bullying and those who perpetrate it. It also finds that some interventions--such as zero tolerance policies, which are widely used by schools--have not curbed bullying or made schools safer. The report identifies approaches that are more likely to be effective at reducing bullying, and it recommends steps that agencies, schools, social media companies, and other stakeholders can take to better understand, prevent, and respond to bullying."--Page 4 of cover.
