Bullying has emerged as a concerning issue in schools nationwide. Legislative expectations have required anti-bullying efforts to be implemented in schools. STOPit is a technological application tool for students to report bullying incidents to school personnel. This study measured the effectiveness of the STOPit application as an anti-bullying strategy in schools located in a Tennessee public school district. Harris's (1995) Group Socialization Theory and Bronfenbrenner's (1979) Ecological Theory of Human Development guided the theoretical frameworks for the study. A mixed-methods approach was used to determine if the number of bullying incidents decreased after implementation of STOPit, to analyze perceptions of the application from students and educators, and to determine if there was a relationship between the students' perceptions of the STOPit application and the usage of the STOPit application. Three years of archival data provided from the district's bullying incident reports were analyzed. In addition, the researchers interviewed certified educators in the school district. Data were collected and analyzed from a 28-Question online Questionnaire that was offered to middle and high school students. The findings of the study indicated that overall the STOPit application had not been effective since implementation. The students reported limited use of the application and conveyed an overall negative perception. The educators reported that the schools gave more effort with the implementation of STOPit during the first year of usage than the next two years. The researchers concluded that continued use of the STOPit application would require more training and specific guidelines for successful implementation.
