Summary: The study found that psychological violence/bullying is prevalent among students, with women reporting higher rates of sexual violence by teachers in public institutions. The Selva region had the highest prevalence rate of sexual violence, while Tacna and Piura had the highest and lowest rates of psychological/verbal violence and bullying in 2018. Based on these findings, it is recommended to implement evidence-based prevention programs in Peruvian schools to address these social issues.

Summary: This study aimed to explore the prevalence of bullying among 10-year-olds in schools worldwide, as well as the variability in bullying prevalence across participating countries' schools, and examine how school-related factors can reduce bullying prevalence. The results showed relatively high bullying prevalence with significant variability among the 50 countries. While socio-economic status may not impact bullying prevalence in some countries, factors like school climate and sense of school belonging had an effect in most countries.

However, these behaviors do not predict parental corporal punishment.

Summary: This study aims to examine the relationship between adolescent bullying attitudes and school bullying behavior in order to decrease incidents of bullying in schools. The results show that attitudes of bullied adolescents towards bullying followers and attitudes of non-bullied adolescents towards bullying bystanders and defenders are positively associated with school bullying behavior. Student cooperation partially mediates this relationship, while student competition plays a suppressor role.

Summary: Students who are bullied in school often experience negative outcomes, such as lower academic achievement. However, the exact process by which bullying affects academic achievement is not well understood. This study used data from the 2011 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) in Chilean schools to examine the indirect effects of bullying on mathematics achievement through school belonging and students' engagement. The results showed that bullying rates in schools predicted differences in mathematics achievement, but these effects were mediated by broader factors such as perceived safety and discipline in the school environment. Notably, the study found that individual experiences of bullying were associated with a weaker sense of belonging to the school as a whole, as well as lower classroom engagement.

Summary: This study examined racial and ethnic differences in adolescents' fear of attack or harm at school and explored the relationship, reasons, and changes between fear and victimization through data analysis and trend observation. The findings show that Black and Hispanic youth have higher odds of expressing fear at school compared to White youth, but this difference decreases after considering other factors. Additionally, despite similarly-sized declines in victimization rates across race/ethnicity, fear declines more for Black and Hispanic youth than White youth.

Summary: The aim of this paper is to investigate the link between public debt and income inequalities. The research findings suggest that the growth of income inequalities is associated with the rise of public debt longitudinally, which can be explained by the fluctuations in unemployment rates. Additionally, the study indicates that the effects of inequality on public debt are driven mostly by automatic and instantaneous mechanisms of demand stabilization, rather than political action triggered by voting.
