<![CDATA[Systemic bullying within workplaces constitutes a criminal law issue that has not yet received adequate scholarly attention, particularly regarding the criminal liability of parties who fail to take preventive action against such conduct.

The findings indicate that systemic bullying does not solely originate from the actions of direct perpetrators, but is also shaped by omission, weak supervision, and the failure of those holding supervisory authority to fulfill their duty of care.
