Bullies and Victims in Schools (Paperback)

Bullying is a covert problem, buried in the subculture of a school. Even the most violent and consistent bullying can remain undetected, and its effect on the victim can be long-term. But what kind of child becomes a bully or a victim, and why? This book provides a guide to understanding bullying, a teacher's handbook for dealing with it, and an analysis of how schools can produce an environment which protects against bullying but which can respond effectively in a crisis.
