Managing Risk-taking Behaviours: An Examination of Bullying

Human interaction has reached a remarkable level of sophistication with the advent of information communication technologies. In a globalized World, this interaction has been simplified by the compression of time and space. The easy access and use of the technologies among students and adolescents has led to the rise of different forms of behavioural issues including cyber bullying. This book, therefore, provides a comprehensive examination of traditional and contemporary forms of bullying. It also examines the need to create a safe and conducive environment for learning, while at the same time outlining numerous strategies that can be used by individuals, schools, parents, teachers and the community to tackle the issue. This is an excellent resource guide for school administrators, teachers, students, parents, counsellors and persons looking for solutions to reduce issues of bullying.
