Stop the Bullying: A Handbook for Schools

Bullying is now widely recognised as a serious problem that affects many children in schools. It can take many forms, including direct verbal and physical harassment and indirect forms such as deliberate exclusion and the targeting of individuals using cyber technology. Continual and severe bullying can cause both short term and long term damage, making it difficult for victims to form intimate relationships with others and for habitual bullies to avoid following a delinquent lifestyle and becoming perpetrators of domestic violence. Even though this type of abuse affects many of our school children, Ken Rigby believes there are grounds for optimism. This passionate and motivating book shows that there are ways of reducing the likelihood of bullying occurring in a school and effective ways of tackling cases when they do occur. Using up-to-date studies, Bullying in Schools helps us to understand the nature of bullying and why it so often takes place in schools. Importantly, it examines and evaluates what schools can do to promote more positive peer relationships within the school community and take effective and sustainable action to deal with problems that may arise. Teachers, parents, school leaders, policy makers, and health professionals will find it invaluable and empowering.

Stop the Bullying: A Handbook for Schools (Revised Ed)

Dealing effectively with the problem of bullying in schools is now recognized as a major challenge for educators of young people. Successful interventions to stop, or even reduce, bullying in schools are difficult to achieve. However, the case for improving the effectiveness of school interventions in cases of bullying is overwhelming. More attention needs to be paid to what can be done in addressing actual cases of bullying, as well as seeking to create a school environment in which the task may be more manageable. Schools need to be aware of the range of approaches that may be adopted and applied in dealing with individual cases. Bullying Interventions in Schools examines in detail six major intervention methods, including: the traditional disciplinary approach * strengthening the victim * mediation * restorative practice * the support group method * the method of shared concern. Bullying Interventions in Schools promotes an understanding of the methods that exist to address actual cases of bullying and when and how they can best be applied. Each method is described in detail, together with its rationale. In addition, the strengths and limitations of their use are critically examined, drawing upon research-based evidence regarding their efficacy and applicability for different kinds and degrees of bullying.

Bullying in Schools provides a comprehensive account of school bullying in Australia and does so in the context of findings reported around the globe. It is widely agreed that bullying in schools is prevalent worldwide, that bullying can and does have devastating effects on the well-being of many children, and that efforts to reduce bullying have, at best, produced only modest success. The central aim of this book is to uncover what schools are doing to counter bullying proactively and reactively in order to reduce such behaviour and thereby improve the mental health and well-being of children. This book draws upon studies conducted over the last 25 years in Australia, including a government-supported study on the prevalence and effectiveness of anti-bullying approaches in Australian government schools conducted in 2015. Uniquely, that study drew upon the perceptions of students, teachers, parents and educational leaders across six Australian Territories, thus providing a rare insight into the situation in a particular educational system. Throughout the book, comparisons are made with relevant findings from studies conducted in other countries and the implications are considered for schools, policymakers, teachers, parents and researchers in Australia and in other countries. The book is intended for a range of readers interested in understanding what can be done in schools to reduce bullying, including researchers and postgraduate students in the fields of education, mental health, psychology and sociology. It should also be essential reading for educational leaders around the globe.
