This is an exceptionally well-researched and compelling book on understanding school bullying. It is an important and crucial addition to the literature on bullying, with many applications to practice an intervention.

Peter Smith explores and critiques 25 years of research into school bullying and abuse and his emphasis on learning from cross cultural studies is particularly impressive and valuable. He places particular importance on the relationship between research and practice and there is an outstanding and important focus on the emergence and impact of cyberbullying.

There is an academic rigour to the analysis of research findings and how bullying can be defined and understood and how we can measure and understand psychological impact on the bully, victim and the school community.
