Bullying in Schools - A Core Issue to be Fomented by A Defective Legislative Context

ABSTRACT: Sociological studies demonstrate the fact that there is a significant low-intensity awareness as regards the issue of bullying in respect of the resource persons that are involved within the framework of the social protection or educational area. Therefore, the present paper is in favor of a "zero tolerance on violence" objective to be governed using a coherent legislative frame. The matter of normative enshrining in relation to international and European bullying and existing regulations of the national legislation is subjected to be a matter for discussion regarding the material of the present study. Specific legislative provisions pertaining to Law no.221/2019 regarding amendment and addendum to National Education Law no. 1/2011 (that identifies "Psychological violence as bullying") and Methodological Norms of law enforcement have been critically analyzed. The legislative context by means of which to regulate the juridical consequences that derive from non-compliance with bullying behavior within the framework of educational and training establishments represent an imperative.
