Could anyone please tell me which one sounds better? Reduce or decrease a serious phenomenon?
Thank you in advance.
 
    • Could you please provide us with some context for this phrase? By themselves, neither one sounds natural to me, but with the right context, either of them could be used.
     
    "I would like to offer some suggestions on how to reduce( or decrease)the serious phenomenon of bullying."
     
    I would use either, but I wouldn't use "phenomenon".

    I'd say "how to reduce the incidence of bullying" OR "how to decrease the incidence of bullying".
