IACP Best Practice Brief Features Bullying Prevention
The International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) has released "Developing an Anti-Bullying Program: Increasing Safety, Reducing Violence." The publication is the first in a series of Best Practice Briefs written for law enforcement that will feature programs that effectively address critical juvenile issues.
The brief highlights the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program as conducted by the Chula Vista, CA, Police Department. Developed in Norway in the mid-1980s, Olweus emphasizes community involvement and the establishment of clear rules and policies against bullying.
