Bullying in Dublin Schools
Abstract
In a study to discover the nature and incidence of bullying in Dublin primary schools 783 children (285 boys and 498 girls) between 7 and 13 years of age in four National Schools in Dublin were questioned about their experiences of being bullied and bullying others. The most common types of bullying reported were: teasing, being hit and kicked, being ‘picked on’ and rejection. Overall, 10.5% of the children reported they were involved in serious bullying, either as the bully or the victim. These figures indicate an incidence that is twice as high as in some North European countries, such as Norway, where a 5% incidence inspired their Department of Education to launch a national campaign to combat bullying in schools.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
