A preventative, school-based program for students in 4th, 5th, and 6th grades (ages 9-12) that sought to reduce rates of bullying and victimization within elementary schools. Evaluation results suggest that the program significantly reduced bullying and victimization rates at schools that implemented the program compared with a control group of schools that did not.
Clearinghouse and Evidence Level
Crime Solutions
The programs and practices presented on CrimeSolutions are identified, screened, reviewed, and rated using a standardized process. Programs are reviewed based on evaluations and practices based on meta-analyses that synthesize different evaluations, but those evaluations have to be sufficiently rigorous. Each screened program and practice is reviewed by two certified reviewers using objective scoring instruments. Ratings are assigned based on the consensus score, which is subject to a documented dispute resolution process when necessary. Learn more about the rating process form programs and practices.
Level 1
