Description
This study considers public calls for the law to stop youth cyberbullying. Adopting social-ecological theory, a legal approach was considered alongside roles of schools in reducing student cyberbullying. A qualitative case study of two independent secondary schools was undertaken. Data came from anti-cyberbullying policy documents, interviews with leaders, key staff, and parents, and from focus groups conducted with students and teachers. Thematic content analyses revealed a uniquely-informed understanding of legal and societal influences on schools; the role of a cyberbullying-specific law; and for inter-systemic legal and educational solutions that warrant further investigation. Recommendations included improving community responses to youth cyberbullying.
