Bullying, School Violence, and Climate in Evolving Contexts: Culture, Organization, and Time

Ron Avi Astor (Lenore Stein-Wood and William S. Wood Professor of School Behavioral Health, School of Social Work, Rossier School of Education, UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA),Rami Benbenisthty (Professor, Louis & Gabi Weisfeld School of Social Work, Bar Ilan University, Ramat Gan, Israel)

Since 2005, bullying, school violence, and school safety literatures have expanded dramatically in content, disciplines, and empirical studies. However, despite this massive expansion of research, there has also been a surprising lack of theoretical and empirical direction to guide efforts on how to advance basic science and practical applications of this growing scientific area of interest. Bullying, School Violence, and Climate in Evolving Contexts outlines a novel unifying model that brings together previously distinct literatures on a wide range of issues (e.g., the structure of school violence and bullying, similarities and differences across cultural groups, weapons in schools, student suicidal ideation and behaviors, teacher-student and student-teacher victimization, sexual harassment, cyberbullying, school climate, etc.). Drawing from numerous large-scale research studies from around the globe, the authors examine the theoretical foundations of school safety and bullying and propose a series of groundbreaking new theoretical and practice proposals. This is a perfect book for doctoral candidates, young academics hoping to forge into new areas of bullying research, and seasoned scholars who delve into the conceptual areas of school violence and bullying.
