The topic of bullying in Alaska probably should be an underlying 
theme should an accurate history of this locality ever be accounted.

From school age in post Territorial Alaska public schools where a
teacher intervened only if there appeared to be bloodshed or terror
my experiences here have noted the extremes of disinterest to fear.

Training children who may not be taught civil behaviors, alternative
means to gain acceptance without undue coarse thuggery, should 
be something that is done for the greater good. Like the effort to
contain numbers of unwanted feral pets, proactive consideration
for the outcomes of these who otherwise do run amok throughout
their lives and cause misery, issue, & manipulatively control other
persons should be dealt with directly. The behavior should be noted.

Usually the bully does as stated, controls or uses those to further
their own ends; be it promotion or to help seduce his conquest in
school. I know personally the corporate mindset rewards them.
