The New Bullying : Understanding and Responding to Cyber Bullying, Punking and Other Assaults on Young People

This book investigates recent trends in bullying, with an emphasis on cyber bullying and cyber bashing.

As computers have become more ubiquitous in the lives of America's population, so too have the possibilities and probability for conflicts between peers, which may escalate into bullying, punking, or hazing.

The author examines the mechanics of bullying within and without contemporary schools and provides information on how parents, teachers, and administrators can deal effectively with problems they may not even be aware of in their own school systems.

Resources for dealing with these problems and examples of interventions are provided throughout the text.
