Description
BULLYING BEHAVIOR may seem rather insignificant compared to kids bringing guns to school or getting involved with drugs. Bullying is often dismissed as part of growing up--a rite of passage. It's actually an early form of aggressive and violent behavior on the part of the bully. When left unresolved, it can be very traumatic on the part of the victim and even bystanders. Since launching an anti-bullying and harassment educational program during the 2002-03 school year in my community, I've brought an anti-bullying intervention and prevention message to over 14,000 students, parents and school personnel. I was once asked why I as a prosecutor would waste my time talking about this issue instead of working to lock up real criminals. I quickly pointed out the report Fight Crime: Invest in Kids that six out of 10 boys who bully will have a criminal record before age 24. Like Fight Crime: Invest in Kids, my belief is that bullying prevention is crime prevention. I believe that reducing bullying and harassing behavior by youth ultimately reduces juvenile crime and other forms of illegal and aggressive behaviors such as domestic assaults, child abuse, animal cruelty and road rage, among others.
