Cyberbullying

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Cyberpsychology ((PASCY))

Abstract

Concern over the high prevalence rates of cyberbullying and the consequences associated with involvement in cyberbullying has prompted some researchers and practitioners to develop interventions designed to tackle cyberbullying. Some of the current interventions use technology to educate young people about appropriate digital behaviour, whereas other interventions are designed to enhance young people’s coping skills. However, one complexity is who is responsible for addressing young people’s involvement in cyberbullying, and researchers and practitioners have questioned the appropriateness of current legislation as a mechanism to tackle cyberbullying. This chapter will provide an account of some of the interventions designed to tackle cyberbullying and the existing legislation.
