This edited collection focuses on different aspects of everyday
violence, harassment and threats in schools. It presents a number
of in-depth studies of everyday life in schools and uses examples
and case studies from different countries to fuel a discussion on
national differences and similarities. The book discusses a broad
range of concepts, findings and issues, under the umbrella of three
main themes: 1) Power relations, homosociality and violence; 2)
Sexualized violence and schooling; and 3) Everyday racism,
segregation and schooling. Specific topics include sexuality
policing, bullying, sexting, homophobia, and online rape culture.
The school is young people's central workplace, and therefore of
great importance to students' general feeling of wellbeing, safety
and security. However, there is no place where youth are at greater
risk of being exposed to harassment and violations than at school
and on their way to and from school. Threats are a relatively
common experience among school students, but some aspects of these
mundane and frequent harassments and violations are not taken
seriously and are, therefore, not reported. Harassment and
violations often have negative effects on youth and children, and
increase their risks of such adverse outcomes as school dropout,
drug use, and criminal behaviour. Contemporary research has shown
that gender is of great importance to how students handle and
report, or do not report, various violent situations. Studies have
also revealed how the notions of masculinity and of being a victim
can be conflicting identities and affect how students handle
situations of threat, violence and harassment. The importance of
gender is also particularly evident with regard to sexual
harassment. Female students generally report greater exposure to
sexual harassment than male students do.
