Our Review

This essential guide moves beyond surface-level solutions to examine the psychological roots of bullying behavior from both aggressor and target perspectives. Roberts provides educators with practical interventions grounded in understanding what drives students to bully and what makes others vulnerable to victimization. The book tackles modern bullying in all its forms, addressing how today's aggressors use psychological manipulation and social exclusion alongside traditional physical intimidation.

What sets this resource apart is its balanced approach that avoids simplistic villain-victim narratives while offering concrete strategies for school implementation. Educators seeking to create meaningful change will appreciate the psychological insights that inform realistic intervention methods. This is required reading for any professional committed to addressing the complex social dynamics behind school bullying and fostering safer learning environments.
