Should I say 'which can be committed' or simply 'committed'? If I have to use 'which can be committed,' should I insert a comma between 'bullying' and 'which' (...bullying, which can...)?

Background data would help you decide between ‘committed’ (already recorded in history) and ‘which can be committed’ (potentially or expected to be). Grammatically, I see no purpose for a comma, as it is not parenthetical.
