Because having a game called Bully about bullies where you play as a bully sparked a lot of controversy.
So for it to get released in EU and to avoid any further backlash they changed it to Canis Canem Edit.
With Scholarship Edition however, since the game had already released a few years prior and people knew what the game is like, they just went with its original title of Bully.

US title of the game I have no idea.

If you're playing Bully play it on PS2.Other versions are just shitty ports not even worth considering(excluding Wii version).The game was originally developed for PS2 and is best experienced on that system.R*NE just failed to carry over the game's look and feel to other platforms.

That was when I knew that the game was gonna be legendary and it was. My brother and I spent an insane amount of time grinding tickets to get the go-kart which was freaking worth it.

we also found this bridge with a little section that you could push people off of, so we'd lure cops and then push them off. some died instantly, some not. i would dress up in a tuxedo with the pig mask and go around as "Agent Piggy" with the potato gun, delivering justice wherever was needed.

i also got the rubber band ball (as well as absolute 100%) and then it glitched out of my inventory forever almost instantly.

Bully is one of the two games (other being RE4) that's a multiplat and the best version is the Wii.

The Scholarship Edition had better graphics and resolution naturally and released on 360, PC and Wii. The former two were extremely buggy, but the Wii version runs like a charm.

Dear idiots, the game was patched AGES ago and runs flawlessly. The only real complaint you could have is the difference in art/graphics, but that's only if you're a complete sperg.

The added extras in the 360 version also add to the game. 360 version is completely fine.
