The book aims to discuss the issue of small-scale school violence.
While school shootings and safety are of the utmost concern among
teachers, students, parents, and the public, many children suffer
the effects of everyday violence that affect the learning
environment and the sense of safety in schools. Such violence can
include bullying, threats, fistfights, theft, weapon-carrying, and
more. It offers an overview of aggression and violence, including
its theoretical causes and presentations, especially in the context
of development and schools. It also outlines the effects of
violence on schools and students. The publication is particularly
unique in that it will encourage the reader to "slow down the
violence" and evaluate it frame-by-frame. This technique, used by
the author in consultation, has been effective in preparing school
employees to address issues of violence, encouraging them to
evaluate their own willingness to intervene, and identifying their
own strengths and limitations. By insisting that they have a plan
of action, the hope is that they will be better prepared when faced
with student conflict, even in the absence of a school plan.
Finally, the book discusses basic program design and implementation
practices to assist school administrators and professionals to
create a tailored program to specifically address their own
schools' needs.

This textbook brings criminology theories to life through a wide
range of popular works in film, television and video games
including 13 Reasons Why, Game of Thrones, The Office, and Super
Mario Bros, from a variety of contributors. It serves as an
engaging and creative introduction to both traditional and modern
theories by applying them to more accessible, non-criminal justice
settings. It helps students to think more broadly like critical
criminologists and to identify these theories in everyday life and
modern culture. It encourages them to continue their learning
outside of the classroom and includes discussion questions
following each chapter. The chapters use extracts from the original
works and support the assertions with research and commentary. This
textbook will help engage students in the basics of criminology
theory from the outset.
