Summary: | This study investigates bullying and victimisation in juvenile rehabilitation institutions in
Malaysia, where research on this phenomenon has been particularly limited. It examines the
prevalence of bullying and victimisation in these settings and investigates the role of personal
characteristics and aspects of institutional environments, and explores how these factors
relate to bullying behaviour. The study comprised a survey completed by 289 male and
female young people, aged 12 to 21 years old, in 8 juvenile rehabilitation institutions, using
the scale version of Direct and Indirect Prisoner Behaviour Checklist (DIPC-SCALEDr) and
the Measuring the Quality of Prison Life (MQPL) instruments. The findings showed that 95
percent of young people reported at least one behaviour indicative of bullying others, and 99
percent reported at least one behaviour indicative of victimisation in a month. Seven
predictors were found to underpin bullying behaviour, including three personal characteristics
(i.e. time spent in the institution, experiences of punishment inside the institution, and gang
membership) and four institutional dimensions (i.e respect; bureaucratic legitimacy; fairness;
and family contact). To conclude, bullying behaviour seemed to be normalized in juvenile
rehabilitation institutions. As the heart of institution, staff members play an important role to
control bullying behaviour amongst young people. The importance of these findings for
bullying prevention strategies and directions for future research are discussed. |
