Good indications as to the incidence rates concerning bullying,
aggressive behaviour and violence in schools have been developed
both in Ireland and internationally. This book presents and
discusses a study of 2,794 students from eight post-primary schools
in the Republic of Ireland who completed a specially-designed
38-item questionnaire, administered according to standardised
instructions by class teachers in normal school time. Across the
sample, around one in seven students reported having been
cyber-bullied over the past couple of months, and around one in
eleven reported having taken part in the cyber-bullying of others
at school within the past couple of months. This research study
confirms that the incidence of cyber-bullying amongst post-primary
students in schools in Ireland is significant, and that its
seriousness as an issue should not be underestimated.
This book provides a rich understanding of school bullying and the
many forms it takes. The reader will be left in no doubt as to the
serious consequences of bullying for the victims, the bullies, and,
indeed, society. Crucial and practical steps are provided,
especially for parents and teachers, as to how they can make a real
difference in reducing the widespread and serious level of
victimization and bullying in our schools today.
