Multiperspectivity on School Bullying is unique in providing a
comprehensive account of school bullying from the perspectives of
schools, teachers, parents, students and institutional authorities.
It identifies diverse viewpoints and discusses their implications
for addressing bullying and thereby improving the mental health and
well-being of children. Drawing on findings from studies conducted
in a wide range of countries, including those undertaken by the
author in his own country, Australia, this book examines
experiences of bullying and debates around how bullying can be best
understood, managed and discouraged. It outlines what is needed
before an agreed understanding of the problem can be reached and
more effective anti-bullying programs devised and implemented. The
book examines both historical and cultural factors relating to
bullying and violence; major theoretical and research perspectives
on bullying; views of different social groups affected by bullying;
and how different institutional authorities view school bullying.
It highlights the need for a multiperspectivity approach to
bullying, taking into account and evaluating a variety of
viewpoints that are currently held. This book will be of great
interest to academics, researchers and students in the fields of
bullying, wellbeing and mental health in schools. It will also be
valuable reading for educational leaders around the globe.
