Bullying in Schools

This essential guide provides the first comprehensive analysis of major anti-bullying initiatives across three continents, examining intervention projects from Europe, North America, and Australasia since the 1980s. Author Peter K. Smith applies a crucial methodology that learns equally from successful programs and failed attempts, offering readers unprecedented insight into what actually works in school violence prevention. The book critically assesses both processes and outcomes, giving educators and administrators practical understanding beyond theoretical frameworks.

What sets this resource apart is its collaborative approach, featuring contributions from leading researchers who provide diverse perspectives on tackling peer aggression. School administrators, policymakers, and education students will find invaluable guidance here for developing evidence-based anti-bullying strategies that address the complex social dynamics of harassment in educational settings. This comparative study ultimately empowers readers to implement interventions that create safer school environments through proven methods rather than guesswork.
