The paper reviews current cyber-bullying studies, presented through a policy lens. It is clear that cyber-bullying public policy challenges include contradictions between the values of freedom of speech, the child's best interests, and the child's parental and school protective authority. The creation of an effective strategy involves a concerted effort including all stakeholders, politicians, school administrators, parents and youth, given the scope of the issue and competing values. Literature that delineates the distinctions between traditional bullying and cyber-bullying must be stressed, since the two are very different and must be independently handled and examined. Therefore, the following sections set out the cyber-bullying concepts and frameworks for policymakers, who contemplate new and/or updated policies, review the features of the issue and the psychology of Internet harassment, explain its physical and mental effects, and summarize the findings of recent cyber-bullying surveys. Finally, the article ends with suggestions on the implementation at the School Board and individual school levels of reasonable use policies, as well as family contracts for home use.
