Title: School Bullying, Depression and Offending Behaviour Later in Life An Updated Systematic Review of Longitudinal Studies Summary: Bullying is a problem among children all over the world. In an earlier report in this series, two of the authors of this study have shown that systematic school programs have proven to be effective in preventing bullying. This was an encouraging result. A further question of interest is that of whether bullying also influences the bullies and the victims later on in life in terms of subsequent offending and mental health problems. The answer to this question would reveal whether the prevention of bullying also constitutes a means of preventing future crime and mental health related issues. This is the question answered by the four authors of this report on the basis of a systematic review that includes a number of statistical meta-analyses. There are never sufficient resources to conduct rigorous evaluations of all the crime prevention measures employed in an individual country such as Sweden. Nor are there resources to conduct scientific studies of all of the effects produced by e.g. early riskfactors on later offending. This report presents a systematic review, including a number of statistical meta-analyses, of the impact of bullying on later offending and depression, with regard to both the bullies and those exposed to bullying. The study follows the rigorous methodological requirements of a systematic review. The analysis combines the results from a substantial number of studies that are considered to satisfy a list of empirical criteria for measuring the correlations of bullying perpetration and victimization with offending and depression as reliably as possible. The meta-analysis then uses the results from these six previous studies to calculate and produce a robust overview of the impact of bullying on negative outcomes later in life. The systematic review, and the statistical meta-analyses, in this case builds upon a large number of scientific studies from different part of the world, producing highly relevant findings on the impact of bullying among children on offending and depression later in life. Although some important questions remain unanswered, the study provides the most accessible and far-reaching overview of this important issue that has been produced to date.

Author: Longmore, Monica A. Title: Physical and Psychological Victimization, Strained Relationships, and Young Adults’ Depressive Symptoms Summary: Interpersonal violence peaks during the early adult years and may have implications for the well-being of female and male victims. Drawing on relational theory and data from the Toledo Adolescent Relationships Study (TARS) (n = 984), we examined associations between intimate partner victimization, indicators of strained relationships, and depressive symptoms. In zero-order models, we found that both physical and psychological victimization increased depressive symptoms. Including strained relationship measures attenuated the effects of physical and psychological victimization on depression. Moreover, the effect of physical victimization is significant at above average levels of respondent control, respondent jealousy, and obsessive love. The associations between both types of victimization and depressive symptoms did not differ by gender, nor were the effects of relationship strain conditional on gender. These findings contribute to our understanding of the links between victimization and well-being.
