"This invaluable book looks at a range of practical interventions that have addressed the problem of school bullying. Each chapter examines the context in which the intervention took place, how theoretical knowledge transferred into practice, and the impact and legacy of the work. Covering the most important and widely-used strategies to combat bullying, the book provides readers with a roadmap to developing practical and impactful interventions, as well as examining the lessons learned and the challenges still to be met. This is essential reading for students and researchers in the field, as well as practitioners interested in the best strategies to use in their own school environment"-- Provided by publisher.
