Product Description
Product Description
Exploring the wider context of how, when and why bullying takes place, this book should enable professionals to co-ordinate their work to tackle the problem effectively. Ken Rigby looks at the implications of his own exensive research into bullying in different countries and draws on the most recent ideas in the field. He shows how bullying is not just the preserve of schools, and occurs beyond childhood, for example in the workplace and at home. This broader perspective enables Rigby to explore the key contributing factors that include: the personalities of bullies and victims; the influence of the family; peer pressures and victimization; the role of gender and culture; and children's and adult's attitudes to, and perceptions of bullying. He shows how people working with children can apply an understanding of the interplay of these factors to managing bullying among children and young people.
