CYBERBULLYING AGAINST MINORITIES ON SOCIAL MEDIA – ARE YOUNG PEOPLE IN SOUTH EASTERN EUROPE WILLING TO REPORT?

The aim of the paper is to investigate how willing students in South Eastern Europe are to report cyberbullying against minorities on social media, whether this willingness differs in terms of socio-demographic characteristics, and its relation to the willingness to report other types of crime. The research was conducted by using the quantitative method on a nonprobability sample of 1419 students from the post-socialist countries of South Eastern Europe (Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Hungary, Macedonia, Montenegro, Serbia and Slovenia). The results of the descriptive and multivariate statistical analysis indicate that students are, in the majority of cases, not willing to report cyberbullying against minorities on social media, and the willingness to report does not differ in terms of socio-demographic characteristics (place of birth, socio-economic status, field of study, year of study and college success), except for the country of residence, where differences have been determined.
