The bulk of anti-bullying activity consists of things that
cannot be done by the police. However, there are things that the police can do to
reduce bullying in schools.
For the most part, these are
things that could be done at the high school level. The placement of what are often
called "resource officers" in the school itself can be a help. Such officers can, at
the very least, work to ensure that bullying does not take a physical form. They can
ensure that any assaults will be dealt with and, thereby, they can hope to deter such
violence.
Outside of that, most steps that can be taken
against bullying have to be done through education rather than through law
enforcement.
