The National Crime Prevention Council’s Bullying resource hub provides a wealth of evidence-based materials aimed at preventing bullying—whether in-person or online—and equipping adults and youth with practical tools to respond effectively. It begins with striking data, such as the 22% of U.S. students aged 12–18 reporting bullying in 2019, and highlights how bullying can have long-term effects, including school dropout, mental health challenges, and even future criminal behavior. The site offers targeted sections like “What Parents Can Do,” which suggests proactive strategies (e.g., building self-esteem, consistent adult involvement, and nonviolent conflict management), and “What to Teach Kids,” which gives educators activity-based guidance on helping children identify bullying, understand its impact, and learn safe intervention techniques. Specialized pages cover cyberbullying—defining it, warning signs, and prevention tactics—to address digital-age challenges. Across its downloadable guides, tip sheets, lesson plans, and training modules, the NCPC offers comprehensive, accessible resources designed to foster empathy, empower bystanders, and create safer school and community environments.
