'This extraordinarily comprehensive book authored by the leading
international authority in the field integrates research, theory
and practice on the topic of school bullying. In an already
research saturated field Peter Smith's writing captures the
humanity of why this topic strikes such a chord in the community.
He reminds us in a thoughtful, practical and caring manner why we
must continue to advocate on all levels for those impacted by
bullying.' -Professor Phillip T. Slee, Flinders University,
Australia 'Understanding School Bullying offers a refreshingly
clear account of the wealth of insights gained over a quarter of a
century of research. As Smith's comprehensive review convincingly
shows, much has been learned and much of this has been put to good
use in improving children's wellbeing. This is surely essential
reading for any researcher concerned with bullying, childhood or
life at school.' -Sonia Livingstone, London School of Economics and
Political Science, UK, author of Children, Risk and Safety Online
'Peter Smith's new book will occupy a prominent place on my
bookshelf. It provides a thorough and highly readable discussion of
the breadth of research on school bullying. Dr. Smith includes
discussions of important challenges related to research on this
topic along with an excellent review of important studies and
findings. This unique volume has influenced my thinking about the
direction of my own research. The book will be an invaluable
resource for researchers, consumers of research, and others who
seek a research-based understanding of this important topic.'
-Sheri Bauman, Ph.D., Professor at University of Arizona Bullying
involves the repeated abuse of power in relationships. Bullying in
schools can blight the lives of victims and damage the climate of
the school. Over the last 25 years a burgeoning research program on
school bullying has led to new insights into effective ways of
dealing with it, as well as new challenges such as the advent of
cyberbullying. This new book, by a leading international expert on
the topic, brings together the cumulative knowledge acquired and
the latest research findings in the area, with a global perspective
especially covering research in Europe, North America, Australasia,
and Asia. It will appeal to those taking academic courses in
psychology, social work, educational psychology, child clinical
psychology and psychiatry, and teacher training, but it will also
be of interest to parents and teachers.
