"This highly accessible volume provides a comprehensive overview of the complexities and multi-faceted contextual layers of the causes, correlates, and consequences associated with school bullying." - Anthony A. Peguero, co-author of Immigration and School Safety "This important collection challenges the simplistic narratives around bullying that present young people as inherently mean and aggressive or mindlessly hungry for status and peer approval. It invites readers to consider the larger contexts, conditions, and unequal social structures that produce bullying and highlights the need for a more sociological approach to anti-bullying policies and interventions. The Sociology of Bullying is an incredibly rich resource for educators, policy-makers, and researchers who want to better understand this complex social phenomenon." (Jessica Taft, author of The Kids Are in Charge: Activism and Power in Peru's Movement of Working Children)
