CYBERBULLYING AND PUBLIC POLICY: AN EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE

CYBERBULLYING AND PUBLIC POLICY: AN EVOLUTIONARY PERSPECTIVE

This article is a comment on Peta Spyrou’s article in this volume entitled ‘Civil Liability for Negligence: An Analysis of Cyberbullying Policies in South Australian Schools’. It considers three aspects of the problem: the first focuses on the implications of the fact that  cyberbullying is not a new form of social activity but is rather a new form of bullying; the second explores some of the possible policy and social responses to the problem; and the third draws from the insights of evolutionary economics and underlines the importance of respecting the rights of children both to be protected from bullying as well as to develop their identities.
