That would be interesting. I don’t believe the data exists. Just need a definition of bully, a list of kids who are bullies (which would be difficult given they are children and that has ethical issues), and a follow up to see if they went to cop school, became cops, career length, etc.
The stats would be easy to do.
I imagine asking a cop would be a bad idea (might go to jail for example), but maybe their former teachers or classmates could work? I’m just yapping at this point lol
Just wondering. Have there been serious studies about how likely a cop is to be a former Schoolyard Bully?

Perhaps psychological records/background checks to determine if they were bullies? Those should also be a thing before someone becomes a cop.
