Cyber-bullying is one of the most difficult problems in the United States as well as Japan, Asian countries and European countries etc. To prevent some students from bullying and cyber-bullying, the administrators of education, teachers and researchers have been thinking about those matters.
Although such an investigation of the cyber-bullying have been energetically held, the problems of that matter cause some students being bullied, make some students sad, and in some cases make some students kill themselves. In order to cope with those problematic behaviors, each school ordered the assailants of bullying suspend. Having been thought that order as a remedy for cyber-bullying, it wouldn’t have gone well. For some schools’ action was recognized as over-criminalizing by some courts of justice. As a result of that judgment those schools was ordered paying fine to the assailants and their families.
Taking considerations that those cases had caused schools not to be able to punish the bullying behaviors, the U.S. Government and each state controlling educational matters enacted Bullying Laws and Policies(Anti-Bullying Laws and Policies).
This paper examines concretely how the cyber-bullying is in the United States and what impact and problems of the Bullying Laws and Policies in the same country. Materials used for analysis included"Analysis of State Bullying Laws and Policies" reported by U.S. Department of Education, and"Crime, Violence, Discipline, and Safety in U.S Public Schools Findings From the School Survey on Crime and Safety 2009-10" reported by the same administrator, and so on.
