Bullying: Home, School and Community

by Delwyn Tattum (Editor), Graham Herbert (Editor)

Overview

First published in 1997, Bullying presents a comprehensive overview of the widespread and persistent problem of bullying which results in the anxiety and distress of many thousands of children and young people. This book is based on the premise that bullying is learned behaviour that has to be challenged wherever it occurs, be it in families, schools, or to other community contexts. It provides tested intervention and prevention programmes in a wide range of environments and institutions, concentrating not only on the behaviour of children and young people, but on the behaviour of the adults who set their models of behaviour. This book will interest teachers, parents, community, and social workers and those in the police, legal and medical professions.
