Criminals are more likely than others to have experienced school bullying in childhood

Abstract

This article examines the correlation between childhood school bullying experience and later criminal behavior. In this study, I will propose an experimental design to examine the correlation between these two variables more straightforwardly. The first experiments would presuppose that children or teenagers who bully others or experience bullying stand a higher chance of committing crimes and exhibit certain antisocial tendencies than children and teenagers who have not gone through situations connected to school bullying. When children or teenagers experience bullying at school, their mental health and behavioral changes will be the primary internal factors when examining criminal motivations. The author will also use this perspective to pinpoint further criminals' personality features that may motivate their criminal behavior and link. A reference group of white men with comparable traits and social backgrounds was used in the pre-determined experiment. Considering the follow-up time and sample size, we controlled the age range of the follow-up samples to a specific value. We thus set up two environments to conduct control experiments. Questionnaires will be the primary procedure for collecting scores and will be calculated and organized based on these data. And to analyze the final score, statistical analysis methods such as two-way repeated measures ANOVA will be used. Overall, the project focuses on different sections, including the introduction, experimental design based on our topic, hypothesized results, and a discussion section on confounding variables and implications for future experiments.
