Bullying is an age-old human struggle, often dismissed as an inevitable consequence of strength versus weakness. However, this insightful volume challenges that assumption, offering a comprehensive and authoritative look at how we can identify, understand, and ultimately reduce bullying behaviour. Moving beyond the narrow focus on schoolyard conflicts, Dr Ken Rigby broadens the horizon to examine bullying across diverse settings, including the workplace, the home, prisons, and sporting arenas.
By drawing upon extensive international research, this book explores the underlying influences of such behaviour, such as personality, family dynamics, and cultural factors. It provides a vital resource for educators, parents, psychologists, and administrators, offering not just an analysis of why bullying persists, but a critical examination of effective intervention methods. Whether you are a professional working in the field or someone seeking a deeper understanding of human social dynamics, this book provides the essential tools and knowledge to foster environments where people are educated not to bully or be bullied. This is a profound, accessible, and mandatory exploration of a critical social issue.
