School violence, from simple bullying to murder, is on the rise. Therefore, Kathy Sexton-Radek has addressed the need for a straightforward, in-depth discussion of school violence in this edited collection. She has compiled essays from an impressive group of authors including both academics and practitioners. Together, they present a comprehensive view of the many types of school violence and how to prevent it. This book will serve as an invaluable tool for teachers, parents, counselors, school administrators, and psychologists dealing with violent children and their victims.
This volume is divided into three major sections, the first of which provides a conceptual foundation to help the reader understand school violence. Section two presents programmatic strategies for the prevention of violence. And, finally, the third section offers a chapter by Sexton-Radek on conflict resolution and several useful appendices, one of which is a listing of web resources for violence prevention programming.
