Public Perception and Attitudes Toward the Enforcement of Regulations in Germany: The Role of the Public in Addressing School Bullying Against Refugee Children

Abstract

This academic review delves into the public perception and attitudes toward the enforcement of regulations in Germany concerning school bullying against refugee children from 2000 to 2022. The paper provides a comprehensive analysis of historical, regulatory, and social dimensions influencing the interplay between public opinion and regulatory measures. It traces the evolution of intercultural education policies, examines media discourse surrounding school bullying, and investigates the role of the public in advocating for and enforcing anti-bullying regulations. The study employs a multi-method approach, including discourse analysis, surveys, and content analysis of educational materials, to offer insights into the dynamic relationship between regulatory frameworks and societal attitudes. Findings reveal shifting public perceptions over time, the impact of socio-political events, and the challenges faced by the public in addressing school bullying against refugee children. The paper concludes with recommendations for future policies, emphasizing the importance of incorporating cultural sensitivity and enhancing public participation in regulatory enforcement.
