Is there a link between childhood bullying behaviour and anti-social behaviour in later years?

Key statement

As yet, there have only been a few studies which have looked at links between bullying behaviour and later anti-social behaviour. However the studies mentioned here have found a link.

Comment

It is important to remember that most children who admit to bullying others (up to 50% in some studies) do not go on to commit crime as adults. The studies which have found a link between childhood bullying and criminality tend to use a much narrower definition of what constitutes a 'bully' than is used in the majority of studies aimed at measuring levels of bullying in school.
