Multiple Perspectives in Persistent Bullying - Deborah Green - Bog

Bullying plays a significant role in influencing the social, emotional, physical and cognitive wellbeing of many children and young people. The authors of this insightful text question what reinforces and perpetuates persistent bullying despite intensive interventions. They provide multiple perspectives on persistent bullying by giving voice to those who bully, are victimised, are both bully and victim and those who desist their bullying behaviour. Examples drawn on include discussions of turning points, teacher expectancy theory and self-verification. Readers will gain insight into the lives of those who are victimised or bully and find proactive support measures involving all stakeholders.
