In this study, my purpose is to critically analyze the anti-bullying policy putting school
violence on the school life record of bullies. This policy is intended to bring about the
deterrent effect by giving serious disadvantages to the bullies in the process of the college
admission and employment in the future.
The results of this study are followings. There is little probability that the school violence
could be strongly controlled, human right of the victims could be protected, and the damage of
the victims and community could be restored by the anti-bullying policy. In these respects, the
anti-bullying policy is not effective and adequate as the means of controlling the school
violence. Additionally, the stigma accompanied by school life record of the bullies is not just
double penalty but also a violence in that it damages the identity of the individual and his/her
self-realization in the society. There is the probability that the anti-bullying policy promotes the
secondary crime of the bullies and thereby brings about the serious social cost.
In conclusion, it is very reasonable to abolish the anti-bully policy putting school violence
on the school life record of bullies. In other words, we should abolish the anti-bully policy
intended to give serious disadvantages to the bullies on the basis of their school life record in
the process of the college admission and employment in the future. In order to solve the
problem of the school violence, it is suggested that we need to switch our perspective on the
school violence from the utilitarian view of calculations of benefit and loss to the normative
view of intersubjective relations of recognition for inviolability of physical integrity, dignity as
persons, and worth of ability and way of life.
