Abstract
For decades researchers have called attention to the problem of bullying among children and adolescents in school. Starting in 1999, states began responding to this problem by promulgating anti-bullying laws. Although anti-bullying laws now exist in every state and the District of Columbia, a comprehensive review of those law has not been conducted in nearly ten years. White et al., have provided that update. Their work is significant on a number of fronts. Still, for all their good intentions and effects, the anti-bullying laws have limitations, arguably significant limitations.
