Abstract

Over the last thirty years, schools have found it necessary to implement anti- bullying policies, as a result of strong international pressure to recognize the right of adolescents to receive their education in a healthy and safe envi­ronment. This article presents a systematic and updated review of the main an­ti-bullying methods which have been developed worldwide, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Broadly speaking, the methods can be categorized into those that involve comprehensive reactive strategies to repress the bullies in differ­ent ways, comprehensive proactive strategies based on the prevention and resolu­tion of problems through mediation and negotiation, and hybrid methods, which are non- comprehensive or partial and tackle only one part of the intervention without considering the problem as a whole. The 39 most important methods de­veloped in democratic countries on the basis of their influence, their historical significance and their methodological solidity are analyzed.
