The ultimate goal of anti-bullying researchers and practitioners is using knowledge on bullying and its underlying mechanisms to further reduce bullying substantially.

In facilitating this task, three learning objectives were developed for this colloquium:

• The first is to understand why continued support is necessary for persistent victims at schools that implement successful anti-bullying interventions. In addition, insights into the importance of cost-benefit analyses of anti-bullying interventions that can facilitate policy-makers in deciding what interventions to support will be shared.
• The second learning objective is being able to reflect on specific bullying cases from a social network perspective. This relational perspective on behavior is invaluable for understanding the broader group processes that facilitate bullying.
• The third learning objective will be the understanding of the importance of a systematic application of social (network) diagnostics to facilitate teachers to recognize and tackle victimization, and to help them translate these diagnostics into actions.
