Abstract
The purpose of this meta-analysis was to investigate the prospective relationship between bullying perpetration/victimization and delinquency in longitudinal/prospective studies published up through 2023. An electronic review of the literature identified 13 studies (19 samples; mean age of bullying = 13.45 years; N = 11,565 for perpetration and 21,640 for victimization) for the current meta-analysis. A random-effects analysis revealed that bullying perpetration produced a medium pooled effect size (rx1y = 0.24) and bullying victimization a small pooled effect size (rx2y = 0.13) when correlated with future delinquency. Partial correlations controlling for the alternate bullying measure (i.e., bullying victimization in the case of bullying perpetration, and bullying perpetration in the case of bullying victimization) were moderate (rx1y.x2 = 0.20) and very small (rx2y.x1 = 0.04) for bullying perpetration and bullying victimization, respectively. Results from this meta-analysis support bullying perpetration as a developmental antecedent of delinquency. Bullying victimization may also be linked to delinquency but at a level one-half to one-fifth the size of bullying perpetration.

Aggression and Violent Behavior, A Review Journal is a multidisciplinary journal that publishes substantive and integrative reviews, as well as summary reports of innovative ongoing clinical research programs on a wide range of topics germane to the field of aggression and violent behavior. Papers encompass a large variety of issues, populations, and domains, including homicide (serial, spree, and mass murder: sexual homicide), sexual deviance and assault (rape, serial rape, child molestation, paraphilias), child and youth violence (firesetting, gang violence, juvenile sexual offending), family violence (child physical and sexual abuse, child neglect, incest, spouse and elder abuse), genetic predispositions, and the physiological basis of aggression.
