Many academic approaches go out of their way to mention using any kind of adult force (let alone [[punishment]]) to stop bullies. One Canadian program is an exception:

Consequences for the perpetrators will be of considerable interest to all students, and will set the tone for future situations. [http://www.lfcc.on.ca/bully.htm]
