The first volume to bring together perspectives on school bullying from a range of Eastern as well as Western countries.

Recenzje

'This is a lengthy but important volume which will appeal to students and researchers alike who are committed to developing their understanding of the phenomenon of bullying in schools. The many excellent chapters will frustrate those seeking quick interpretations and simple answers, but will provide many significant points to consider, especially for those from a Western tradition as they seek to make less hasty and more nuanced cross-cultural comparisons of research into school bullying.' Noel Purdy, Pastoral Care in Education
