Cyberbullying

ebrary’s Searchable Information Center on Cyberbullying

According to the National Crime Prevention Council, 43% of teens have been the victims of cyberbullying in the past year. 

To help parents, educators, and others better understand, prevent, and take action against this growing concern, ebrary is subsidizing a collection of e-books on cyberbullying. Additionally, ebrary employees have uploaded a number of government documents from the Pew Internet & American Life Project, U.S. Department of Justice, and other organizations
