The research analyses the social construction of bullies and
victims in a sample of Italian (La Repubblica and Corriere della
Sera) and English newspapers (The Guardian and The Times) applying
a classical content analysis methodology. The main scientific
literature on social constructionism, mass media and social
construction of crime and youth crime is reviewed as well as the
theoretical and research contributions on bullying. The images of
bullies and victims delivered by Italian and English newspapers are
further assessed and compared to the extant literature on the
topic. Differences emerge both between newspapers and in regard to
theoretical and research contributions, underlying specific
stereotyped ways of newspapers to depict bullies and victims.
Findings are consistent with those of previous research
investigating the way mass media have depicted youth crime and in
particular school violence.
