Reviews

For this scholarly collection, the editors have selected the most current research on the topic, including essays on who bullies are and why they exhibit this behavior, whom they victimize, and other factors that may come into play. Most of the information provided is based on research done in the United States. Essays are divided into three categories: "Theoretical Perspectives," "Dynamics of Bullying Behavior," and "Interventions and Prevention." This last section includes case studies of successful anti-bullying strategies that individual schools and districts could utilize. Each essay includes a summary, keywords, author credentials, and a detailed list of references. This work is geared toward scholars and specialists in this field, and is likely to be of interest to counselors, social workers, therapists, school administrators, and education policy makers.
