This comprehensive book provides a global overview of how bullying and peer victimization affect children and adolescents.

Organised by geographical regions, the chapters outline socio-cultural contexts of bullying in 110 countries/societies. Researchers and practitioners present anti-bullying prevention and intervention methods as well as the existence (or absence) of laws and policies to protect children and adolescents from bullying.
