Read the following passage and choose the correct answer to each of the following questions.
In the past 15 years, all 50 states and the District of Columbia have adopted or revised anti-
bullying laws. While this legislative action is promising, few studies have measured the actual impact of
anti-bullying laws and policies.
Law has played a key role in responding to many public health issues, from infectious diseases to
road safety. To ensure it does the same for bullying prevention, a process for continually assessing and
refining anti-bullying laws and policies is needed, according to the Academies report.
Among other things, the Academies report calls for an annual meeting among policymakers,
social scientists and professionals who work with children to review research that assesses the
implementation and effect of anti-bullying laws and policies. The aim is to develop better evidence and
ensure that research informs decisions Congress and the state legislatures make to address bullying.
Identifying bullying
Research shows that many schools and teachers continue to have trouble identifying bullying and
deal with it successfully.
An essential step to identification of bullying is training for teachers and others who work with
children and adolescents. As the Academies report recommends, “evidence-informed bullying prevention
training should be provided for individuals, both professionals and volunteers, who work directly with
children and adolescents on a regular basis.”
The report notes that such training programs must be ongoing and evaluated to ensure that
professionals and volunteers who work with youth can effectively identify bullying and intervene
appropriately.
