About This Book

'School Bullying' is unique in utilising a larger cultural context and international perspective that broadens the traditional conceptualisation of bullying and that promotes creative approaches to a seemingly intractable and complex problem. In addition, the book investigates several 'under the radar' forms of bullying (e.g., religious bullying, bullying by teachers and other adults in schools), as well as the unique challenges in assessing these largely unacknowledged forms of bullying in toda

Our Review

This essential examination of school bullying moves beyond the typical playground scenarios to explore the larger cultural forces and international perspectives that shape aggressive behavior in educational settings. David R. Dupper investigates several often-overlooked forms of peer aggression, including religious bullying and the complex dynamic of bullying by teachers and other adults within the school system. The book provides a critical framework for understanding these under-the-radar forms of harassment that frequently go unacknowledged in standard assessments and anti-bullying policies.

What makes this work particularly valuable is its commitment to promoting creative, systemic solutions to a problem often treated with simplistic, individual-focused interventions. By framing bullying within a broader societal and global context, it offers educators, administrators, and policymakers the tools to develop more nuanced and effective prevention strategies. This is a vital resource for anyone serious about creating safer school environments through a deeper understanding of the complex social dynamics at play.
