I didn't change the title, but without access to the original article, it seems like a correlation not causation.

Each has a strong inverse relationship with socioeconomics.

Note

I am not saying being poor makes a kid a bully. My parent was poor and I only ever bullied bullies (and stopped when they stopped).

It’s just a nondescript statistical relationship. As to why it exists, I don’t know. My guess is greater baseline stress, less emotional support, and higher chance of domestic violence.
