Abstract
Cole expressed that the use of an ecological system's perspective involves the intertwining relationships of all potential stakeholders around a social problem in bullying culture. We regard the community as any individuals, groups, institutions or social context that are not directly affiliated with the school environment, including the surrounding neighborhood, criminal justice system, family and, in some context, the cyber world. This chapter addresses the relationship between bullying outside of school and inside of school, community factors that influence experiences of bullying, and the impact that the community, as individuals, groups, and the neighborhood culture can have on bullying. Bullying in school increased the likelihood of anti-social experiences later in life. Miller and colleagues conducted a multi-racial study of 795 youths that found that more than half of the students were victims of two or more of the following: bullying, sexual harassment, and/or dating violence.
