Abstract

School violence is a rising global issue, affecting students' mental, physical health, and academic and social well-being. Especially, students with disabilities are involved in bullying perpetration at twice the rate of their peers. Using the Early Childhood Longitudinal Studies (ECLS-K:2011), this study examines the intersection of disability, race/ethnicity, and bullying perpetration. Through the DisCrit framework, it highlights racial and ethnic inequalities in bullying perpetration experiences. Findings show students with disabilities, particularly African American ones, participate more in bullying perpetration than other racial and ethnic groups. The research also discusses its broader implications and constraints.
