This book explicates "bullying" as a concept and as a social and
cultural phenomenon that has become a defining reality of the times
in which we live. The author begins in the arena where it is first,
and most acutely individually, experienced-in school-and expands to
other institutions and areas of social life-the family, the
workplace, and the local, national, and international spheres,
extending the concept of bullying to the global arena to uncover
the social and institutional root causes of the extreme forms of
bullying such as trafficking, torture, terrorism, and genocide. The
book discusses the steps taken to address these issues and analyzes
their efficacy. It explores the concept of epigenetics, brain
development, childhood experiences, and other psychological factors
that contribute to bullying behaviors and predispositions. The book
investigates and compares anti-bullying and anti-violence
initiatives taken particularly in the U.S, the U.K., and India to
address the issue and create community-wide resilience practices.
It also describes the current trends in decisions from
international, regional, and domestic law, and offers
evidence-based policy recommendations to establish a culture of
respect for human dignity. An interdisciplinary, intercultural
exploration, and analysis of the phenomenon of bullying, this book
will be of interest to students, teachers, and researchers of
psychology, sociology, anthropology, social justice and law, human
rights, and cultural studies. It will also be useful for academic
libraries, academicians, policy planners, school administration,
government officials, and readers interested in reading about
bullying.
