Book Description
Though decades ago school shootings were rare events, today they are becoming normalized. Active shooter drills have become more commonplace as pressure is placed on schools and law enforcement to prevent the next attack. Yet others argue the traumatizing effects of such exercises on the students. Additionally, violence between students continues to remain problematic as bullying pervades children’s lives both at school and at home, leading to negative mental health impacts and, in extreme cases, suicide. Establishing safer school policies, promoting violence prevention programs, building healthier classroom environments, and providing better staff training are all vital for protecting students physically and mentally. The Research Anthology on School Shootings, Peer Victimization, and Solutions for Building Safer Educational Institutions examines the current sources of violence within educational systems, and it offers solutions on how to provide a safer space for both students and educators alike. Broken into four sections, the book examines the causes and impacts that peer victimization has on students and how this can lead to further violence and investigates strategies for detecting the warning signs. The book provides solutions that range from policies and programs that can be established to strategies for teaching nonviolence and promoting coexistence in the classroom. Highlighting a range of topics such as violence prevention, school climate, and bullying, this publication is an ideal reference source for school administrators, law enforcement, teachers, government and state officials, school boards, academicians, researchers, and upper-level students who are intent on stopping the persisting and unfortunate problem that is school violence.

Book Description
Handbook of Adolescent Development fills a gap in the literature on adolescent development and behaviour: all of the authors of the various chapters were invited to include as many findings on European adolescents as possible. Through this specific emphasis, the handbook provides a complement to other reviews of the literature that are mostly based on North American samples. The contributors are all eminent researchers in the field and the individual chapters cover their specific areas of expertise. Theories of adolescence, along with emotional, physical and cognitive issues, are explored. Topics covered include families, peer relations, school and leisure time, as well as problem areas such as depression, drug consumption and delinquency. Handbook of Adolescent Development also incorporates a comprehensive review of the literature in the area and considers avenues for future research. This multidisciplinary text will be of interest to those studying and researching in the fields of developmental psychology, sociology, demography, epidemiology and criminology.

Book Description
Children are increasingly using computer technologies and many are experiencing online aggressive acts from their peers. News media reports have documented instances of cyber victimization, and social scientists have started to examine its characteristics and consequences. The present research evaluated a comprehensive conceptual model of cyber victimization as it relates to age, gender, traditional, face-to-face victimization, and classroom psychosocial functioning using structural equation modeling. 192 third through sixth grade students completed self-report and peer-report measures based on their experiences with cyber victimization, traditional victimization, and classroom psychosocial functioning at multiple levels of social complexity (including the individual, relationship, and group levels). The results indicated a fairly large prevalence of cyber victimization at these younger ages. In addition, the participants reported experiencing cyber victimization at comparable rates across grades, and between males and females. While some students may experience victimization in both contexts, there was not a significant relation between experiencing traditional victimization and cyber victimization in the current study. Consistent with previous literature, traditional victimization was significantly related to higher rates of loneliness, and lower rates of optimism about peer relations, number of mutual friendships, and social acceptability. Similarly, cyber victimization was positively related to children’s loneliness, and negatively related to children’s optimism about their peer relations and social acceptability. However, cyber victimization was not significantly related to number of mutual friendships. Results of the current study have important implications for our understanding of cyber victimization, directions for future research, as well as possible avenues for interventions. .
What are the Long-term Consequences of Peer Victimization?

Pages : 126
Book Description
Prior research has documented long-term psychological problems (e.g. emotional distress, anxiety, and depression; Kochenderfer-Ladd & Wardrop, 2001) experienced as a result of being bullied as an adolescent. Although being a recipient of peer victimization has been related to psychological health, limited research has looked at the association between peer victimization and physical health problems. Even fewer studies have investigated the relationship between being bullied and health outcomes over time. This dissertation examined whether peer victimization in early adolescence lead to changes in neuroendocrine functioning (as assessed by cortisol) and physical health outcomes several years later. Adolescents and their parents (N = 120) participated in this two phase study occurring over an approximate 2.5 year period. At the first assessment, adolescents and their parents answered questions about the child's social experiences, and psychological and physical health. In addition, the adolescent collected saliva samples (to assess cortisol levels). At the second assessment, adolescents and their parents completed identical surveys and adolescents completed an additional two days of cortisol samples. As expected, being peer victimized at the first assessment was related to poorer psychological and physical health problems as the second assessment. Moreover, this study found that peer victimization at time 1 was related to altered diurnal patterns of cortisol over time. Finally, this dissertation assessed whether changes in cortisol mediate the relationship between victimization and health.

International Focus – approximately forty-percent of the chapters deal with bullying assessment, prevention, and intervention efforts outside the USA. Chapter Structure – to provide continuity, chapter authors follow a common chapter structure: overview, conceptual foundations, specific issues or programs, and a review of current research and future research needs. Implications for Practice – a critical component of each chapter is a summary table outlining practical applications of the foregoing research. Expertise – the editors and contributors include leading researchers, teachers, and authors in the bullying field, most of whom are deeply connected to organizations studying bullying around the world.
