Cyberbullying Incident Severity Calculator

Assess the overall severity of a cyberbullying incident by evaluating frequency, platform reach, content type, victim vulnerability, and bystander involvement. The result is a composite severity score (0–100) mapped to a risk tier.

Incident Frequency

Single / Isolated (1) Occasional – a few times (2) Repeated – weekly (3) Persistent – daily (4) Severe – multiple times per day (5)

Platform Reach / Audience Size

Private message / 1-on-1 (1) Small closed group (<20 people) (2) Medium group / class / team (3) Public profile / school-wide (4) Viral / internet-wide exposure (5)

Content / Behaviour Type

Mild teasing or name-calling (1) Exclusion / social isolation (2) Harassment, insults, rumour-spreading (3) Threats, impersonation, doxxing (4) Sexual content, hate speech, or extortion (5)

Victim Vulnerability Level

No known risk factors (1) Mild – occasional stress reported (2) Moderate – prior mental-health concerns (3) High – known anxiety/depression (4) Critical – prior self-harm or crisis history (5)

Bystander Involvement

No bystanders aware (1) 1–2 bystanders, passive (2) Several bystanders, no intervention (3) Bystanders actively sharing content (4) Bystanders amplifying / joining the attack (5)

Duration of Incident (days)

Evidence / Documentation Available?

Yes – screenshots, logs, witnesses (0) Partial – some evidence exists (3) No evidence available (6)

#### Formula

Weighted Core Score (max 55 raw → normalised to 50):   Wcore = (Frequency × 2.5) + (Platform Reach × 2.0) + (Content Type × 3.0) + (Vulnerability × 2.0) + (Bystander × 1.5)   Corenorm = (Wcore / 55) × 50 Duration Bonus (max 20):   D = min(days / 30, 1) × 20 Evidence Penalty (0, 3, or 6):   E = 0 (full evidence) | 3 (partial) | 6 (none) Total Severity Score (0–100):   Severity = ((Corenorm + D + E) / 76) × 100 Tiers: 0–24 Low | 25–49 Moderate | 50–74 High | 75–100 Critical
