CRIMINOLOGICAL ANALYSIS OF BULLYING, ITS TYPES, SIGNS AND METHODS OF PREVENTION

 

The article is devoted to the study of the criminological side of such a phenomenon as bullying, its concepts, signs and types. The historical development of the study of the concept of «bullying» is traced. The research of various scientists in the field of studying such a phenomenon as bullying is analyzed. The relationship between bullying and other forms of violent behavior is investigated. The main determinants that contribute to such actions are analyzed.

One of the types of bullying is considered - cyberbullying, which is a form of aggressive, conflict behavior of a systematic nature, carried out using modern information and telecommunications. Lists the types of cyberbullying that occur in cyberspace, as well as the types of behavior that are characteristic of this phenomenon.

The consequences of bullying are described and actions in bullying are compared with actions that qualify under Article 120 «Inducing to suicide» of the Criminal Code of Ukraine and Article 128 «Torture» of the Criminal Code of Ukraine. Discloses a concept such as «Bulicide». Emphasis is placed on the problem of preventing and combating bullying in Ukraine.

The  Laws  of  Ukraine  “On  Amendments  to  Certain  Legislative  Acts  of  Ukraine  on Countering Bullying (Harassment)” and “On Education” are analyzed to identify actions that qualify as bullying. The administrative responsibility provided for commission of these actions is specified.

To counteract and prevent such a negative phenomenon in Ukraine as bullying, it is proposed to improve the legislation that would clearly regulate this issue and strengthen the responsibility for bullying, as well as take measures to prevent this phenomenon at the national, special criminological and individual levels.

In addition, given the threat to human life and health, as well as the age of adolescents, who have recently become bullying, the common signs of bullying and torture, it is proposed to equate certain types of bullying to torture, and proposed consideration of criminal -legal liability for bullying, children who have reached 14 years.

The best ways to solve the problem of bullying are proposed, considering foreign experience.

Keywords: bullying, violence, cyberbullying, criminal liability, counteracting bullying, measures to prevent bullying.
