Using data from the Survey of Social Cohesion for the Prevention of Violence and Crime (ECOPRED) 2014, this paper analyzes the incidence of bullying and cyberbullying in young people aged 12 to 16 from the Metropolitan Area of Monterrey, Mexico (AMM). Nine situations were classified according to the type of bullying (physical, psychological, social, and sexual) and one situation was classified as cyberbullying. All these cyberbullying and bullying aggressions (except for the sexual harassment) took place mainly at school and schoolmates were identified as the main aggressors. In the case of sexual bullying, the aggression occurred at the victim’s own house and either a stranger or a member of the household was identified as the aggressor. By gender, in the AMM, a greater proportion of women are victims of physical and sexual bullying, while a greater proportion of men are victims of cyberbullying. In both the AMM and the national average, the incidence of female victims of sexual bullying almost doubles that of males. The proportion of victims of cyberbullying in the national average doubles the incidence in the AMM, with women as the main victims.
