Join hands to beat bullies, experts say

Teachers, parents and public security authorities need to work closer together to combat bullying, according to a senior judicial official.

The Supreme People's Procuratorate, the top prosecuting authority, received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in the first 11 months of this year, leading to 1,100 arrests and 2,300 prosecutions, according to data released on Wednesday.

Yet complaints of campus violence remain difficult to detect and prove, said Shi Weizhong, deputy director of the authority's Juvenile Procuratorial Affairs Office.
