Tomlinson-Online - Handbook of School Violence, Bullying and Safety

This Handbook provides cutting-edge research on school violence, bullying and safety. Focusing on contemporary phenomena, such as cyberbullying, assaults on teachers and gun violence in schools, it offers insights into the international prevalence of school violence and how it can be prevented. Bringing together leading international scholars, this Handbook explores the multifaceted landscape of violence in schools, highlighting the motivations of perpetrators and the effects it can have on victims. Contributors examine global variations of violence in schools, presenting new scholarship on school violence and prevention in non-Western societies and the Global South. Drawing on state-of-the-art research into anti-bullying and anti-violence policies, the Handbook advocates for effective methods and strategies for addressing violence in schools and fostering safe environments for students. This Handbook is an invaluable resource for academics and researchers in education policy and the sociology of education, particularly those focusing on anti-bullying policies and school violence prevention. Combining theoretical insights with multidisciplinary practical research, it is also beneficial to practitioners working in school settings.
