Criminology Explains School Bullying cover

In this book, Robert A. Brooks and Jeffrey W. Cohen provide a concise, targeted overview of the major criminological theories to explain the phenomenon of school bullying, bringing to life what is often dense and confusing material with concrete case examples. Criminology Explains School Bullying is a valuable resource in criminology or juvenile delinquency classes, as well as special-topics classes on school violence, bullying, or the school-to-prison pipeline. Charts, critical thinking questions, and implications for practice and policy illuminate real-world applications, making this is a go-to book for teachers, students, and researchers interested in an empirically driven synthesis of criminological theory as it applies to school bullying.

"There is extensive integration of scholarly literature throughout, and the discussion is consistently evidence-based. The text is comprehensive, and an excellent resource for people wanting to gain a rounded insight into the various explanations for school bullying. I was impressed by the range of theoretical perspectives covered, and the balanced consideration the authors provide about each one. This is the first book of its kind that attends so thoroughly to this many theoretical explanations within the same resource."
