MORE ABOUT BULLIES
Bullying is the use of force or coercion to
abuse or intimidate others. The behavior can be
habitual and involve an imbalance of social or
physical power. It can include verbal harassment o
r threat, physicalassault or coercion and may be
directed repeatedly towards particular victims,
perhaps on grounds of race, religion, gender, sexu
ality, or ability. The victim of bullying is
sometimes referred to as a "target". Bullying can
be defined in many different ways.
The UK currently has no legal definition of
bullying, while some U.S. states have laws
against it. Bullying consists of three basic
types of abuse emotional, verbal, and physical.
It typically involves subtle methods
of coercion such as intimidation. Bullying ranges
from simple one-on-one bullying to more complex
bullying in which the bully may have one or more
"lieutenants" who may seem to be willing to
assist the primary bully in his or her bullying
activities. Bullying in school and the workplace
is also referred to as peer abuse. Robert W.
Fuller has analyzed bullying in the context
of rankism. Bullying can occur in any context in
which human beings interact with each other. This
includes school, church, family, the workplace,
home, and neighborhoods. It is even a common push
factor inmigration. Bullying can exist
between social groups, social classes, and even
between countries (see jingoism). In fact, on an
international scale, perceived or real imbalances
of power between nations, in both economic
systems and in treaty systems, are often cited as
some of the primary causes of both World War I
and World War II.

victimology
Victimology is the study of victimization,
including the relationships between victims and
offenders, the interactions between victims and
the criminal justice system that is,
the police and courts, and corrections officials
and the connections between victims and other
social groups and institutions, such as the
media, businesses, and social movements. Victimolo
gy is however not restricted to the study of
victims of crime alone but may include other
forms of human rights violations.

More about cyber bullying
Kids report being mean to each other online
beginning as young as 2nd grade. According to
research, boys initiate mean online activity
earlier than girls do. However, by middle school,
girls are more likely to engage in cyberbullying
than boys do.Whether the bully is male or female,
his or her purpose is to intentionally embarrass
others, harass, intimidate, or make threats
online to one another. This bullying occurs via
email, text messaging, posts to blogs, and web
sites. The National Crime Prevention Association
lists tactics often used by teen
cyberbullies.Pretend they are other people online
to trick others Spread lies and rumors about
victims Trick people into revealing personal
information Send or forward mean text
messages Post pictures of victims without their
consent Studies in the psychosocial effects of
cyberspace have begun to monitor the impacts
cyberbullying may have on the victims, and the
consequences it may lead to. Consequences of
cyberbullying are multi-faceted, and affect
online and offline behavior. Research on
adolescents reported that changes in the victims'
behavior as a result of cyberbullying could be
positive. Victims "created a cognitive pattern of
bullies, which consequently helped them to
recognize aggressive people."However, the Journal
of Psychosocial Research on Cyberspace abstract
reports critical impacts in almost all of the
respondents, taking the form of lower
self-esteem, loneliness, disillusionment, and
distrust of people. The more extreme impacts were
self-harm. Children have killed each other and
committed suicide after having been involved in a
cyberbullying incident. The most current research
in the field defines cyberbullying as "an
aggressive, intentional act or behaviour that is
carried out by a group or an individual
repeatedly and over time against a victim who
cannot easily defend him or herself" (Smith
Slonje, 2007, p. 249).  Though the use of sexual
remarks and threats are sometimes present in
cyberbullying, it is not the same as sexual
harassment, typically occurs among peers, and
does not necessarily involve sexual predators.
