I think the consequences are so predictable as to be, in effect, intentional.
The hypotheses underlying "anti-bullying" programs are 1) Bullies need care because they themselves are victims, 2) There is no such thing as righteous violence, 3) Fighting back "perpetuates the cycle of violence", so a kid who fights back is just as bad as the bully, and, of course 4) All acts are relative, so that each must be judged in isolation from the others.

When you put it that way it looks pretty hopeless.
