Although news of school bullying and violence in my country have frequently appeared in the media, so far there is no specific law to provide solutions to this problem. In contrast, Japan began to respond to school violence at the national level as early as 1980. In 2011, a second-year junior high school boy in Japan committed suicide because of unbearable school violence. In 2013, the Japanese Parliament passed the School Bullying Prevention Countermeasures Promotion Act to say no to school bullying through law. Obviously, controlling school bullying and violence is not only the responsibility of educators, nor can it be solved solely by relying on "special governance" by the administrative department. Legislation must also play a role.

During the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference this year, the Central Committee of the Kuomintang submitted a "Proposal on Special Legislation to Prevent and Control "Campus Bullying"" to the conference, calling for the early formulation of an anti-campus bullying law. The contents mainly include: first, integrating the existing regulations on preventing and controlling campus bullying and elevating them to special legislation. The second is to emphasize the guardian accountability system. Improve the specific means of "ordering parents to take strict disciplinary measures". The third is to improve the judicial protection system. Add a "personality investigation system", and the sentencing of juvenile defendants should fully consider their personality, family, experience, etc.; add a "social service order" to recommend juvenile criminal suspects who meet the conditions for non-prosecution to public welfare institutions Undertake unpaid work and provide probationary education.

“For suspected criminal campus bullying incidents, they must be handled strictly in accordance with the law, which may also involve necessary legislative follow-up. Otherwise, there will only be a paper declaration without supporting legal and institutional support. The strong side of dealing with school bullying may just disappear." Zhang Guoxin suggested passing legislation to return the power of punishment to schools and teachers. We can learn from some foreign practices. In addition to normal criticism, warnings, written examinations, and scoldings, teachers can also use other punitive measures that do not cause harm to students' bodies and minds. At the same time, measures and procedures for punishing minors should be improved in the Minors Protection Law or the Teachers Law to enhance the deterrent effect of preventing juvenile crimes. "This is also a kind of love and protection for minors."

Zhang Guoxin also suggested that legislation should clarify the boundaries of school safety management and educational responsibilities in campus bullying, and that special legislation should be adopted to clarify the various aspects of campus safety management. This system clarifies the obligations and responsibilities that the government, schools, teachers, students and their parents should bear in the process of campus safety management. At the same time, the funding sources and guarantee mechanisms for campus safety governance should also be clarified to provide institutional support for campus safety governance.
