Sameer Hinduja, Ph.D., associate professor in the School of Criminology and Criminal Justice within FAU’s College for Design and Social Inquiry, along with Justin Patchin, Ph.D., associate professor of criminal justice at the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire, have released new research linking school climate with online behavior. Their findings offer research-based strategies for improving school climate to counteract cyberbullying and sexting.
“There is little question that what goes on online affects what happens at school and vice versa,” said Hinduja. “While our research shows that most teens use technology in a safe and responsible manner, some do make mistakes or use technology in ways that create significant problems for others. These behaviors must not be ignored. With the right tools, educators have the power to creative a positive climate and even bully-proof schools at school and online.”
