Sommario/riassunto

This book examines bullying behaviour in a wide range of settings, including kindergartens, schools, the workplace, in sports and prisons. Looking at bullying in each of these areas, it discusses alternative views and perspectives on bullying, helping policy makers and professionals to coordinate their work and so tackle the problem effectively.
