“…Boys consistently appear to be more involved in aggressive behaviours such as bullying and physical fights, as well as more violent offences (e.g., Bučar Ručman, 2004;Dekleva, 2010;Gorenc, 2006;Jeriček Klanšček et al, 2019;Meško & Bertok, 2013b;Pušnik, 1996;Tivadar, 2000). They are also recognised as victims more often than girls, who report less violence and bullying (e.g., Dekleva & Razpotnik, 2010;Gorenc, 2006;Kralj et al, 2013;Scagnetti, 2011). Age trends are observable in many studies, indicating variations in the prevalence of peer violence among different age groups.…”
