"School Bullying: Insights and Perspectives" examines the nature and extent of bullying in schools and gives a succinct and authoritative account of research into ways of reducing this problem. It offers a comprehensive evaluation of the success of different approaches, such as: developing a whole school policy; tackling bullying through classroom and curriculum materials; training lunchtime supervisors; improving the playground environment; and working directly with pupils involved in bullying situations. This book - and the companion volume, "Tackling Bullying in Your School", which gives detailed guidance on implementing these strategies - should be useful to all professionals wishing to reduce the problem of bullying in schools. Peter Smith has also published "Psychology of Grandparenthood" (Routledge), "Ecology of Pre-School Behaviour" (CUP), "Play in Animals and Humans" (Blackwell), "Understanding Children's Development" (Blackwell), and "Children's Play" (Gordon and B.). The contributors to this volume include: Peter K. Smith, Sonia Sharp, Irene Whitney, Ian Rivers, David Thompson, Helen Cowie, Michael J. Boulton, and Catherine Higgins.

Industry Reviews

"These two excellent companion volumes, based on research work in Sheffield, provide an invaluable source of information on international research findings about bullying and on intervention strategies which have been tried and tested in both primary and secondary schools. Together they make essential reading for all those concerned with this pervasive problem which exist in most, if not all, schools in Britain."-Times Educational Supplement, UK
