TTOFI, DAVID P. FARRINGTON, and FRIEDRICH LOSEL Institute of Criminology, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, United Kingdom School bullying is a serious problem across the world, affecting children in both developed and developing countries. Research based on longitudinal studies has shown that school bullying is a significant risk factor for a range of antisocial, criminal, and health outcomes later in life, even after controlling for major childhood risk factors that are related to both school bullying and the various outcomes (Farrington, L6sel, Ttofi, & Theodorakis, 2012; Ttofi, Farrington, & L6sel, 2012). It is, therefore, necessary to investigate protective factors that interrupt the continuity from school bullying to later externalizing and internalizing problems and that confer resilience on children involved in the vicious cycle of bullying as either perpetrators or victims. This is the essence of the current special issue, which has implications for policy and practice for various audi- ences, including psychologists, psychiatrists, criminologists, policy makers, and practitioners. All contributors to this special issue were asked to investigate: (a) the strength of the relation between bullying perpetration and later externalizing problems and/or the strength of the relation between bullying victimiza- tion (i.e., being bullied) and later internalizing problems; (b) the strength of these relations after controlling for earlier major childhood risk factors Received October 15, 2013; accepted October 16, 2013.
