Anti-bullying Policies and Disparities in Bullying: A State-Level Analysis

摘要

Introduction: Recent research suggests that anti-bullying laws may be effective in reducing risk of bullying victimization among youth, but no research has determined whether these laws are also effective in reducing disparities in bullying. The aim of this paper was to evaluate the effectiveness of anti-bullying legislation in reducing disparities in sex-and weight-based bullying and cyberbullying victimization.
