This commentary provides some reflections on the studies included in the special issue and their findings, focusing on three topics in particular. First, moral disengagement as a factor associated with bias-based discrimination, harassment, and bullying is discussed. Second, the negative effects of bias-based victimization and factors that might mitigate them are contemplated, with special attention to peer defending. Finally, some implications for prevention and intervention are considered.
