Bullying in Schools
Bullying involves some three-quarters of a million children in the United Kingdom. For many victims the misery extends over many years and affects every day of their lives. Most people are aware of bullying yet the subject has been strangely ignored. This, the first major book devoted to bullying examines these questions: What is bullying? How does it happen? Who is likely to be involved? Where does it take place? What are the causes? And what can be done about it? The solutions offered independently by the contributors challenge the stereotype assumptions about bullies and victims and are essentially practical, suggesting strategies for establishing an ethos by which schools can become safe places for pupils, parents and teachers.
Bullying
First published in 1997, Bullying presents a comprehensive overview of the widespread and persistent problem of bullying which results in the anxiety and distress of many thousands of children and young people. This book is based on the premise that bullying is learned behaviour that has to be challenged wherever it occurs, be it in families, schools, or to other community contexts. It provides tested intervention and prevention programmes in a wide range of environments and institutions, concentrating not only on the behaviour of children and young people, but on the behaviour of the adults who set their models of behaviour. This book will interest teachers, parents, community, and social workers and those in the police, legal and medical professions.
Disruptive Pupil Management
First published in 1986, Disruptive Pupil Management presents a comprehensive overview of the disruptive behaviour in schools in the light of the Elton Report. The emphasis of this book is that a preventative approach to the problem is a more valid response than this crisis management approach which results in pupils being sent to special units. The book therefore stresses the importance of schools managing their own techniques and interpersonal skills, rather than schools importing solutions. This book is a must read for all educationists, teachers, and researchers of primary and secondary education.

School Management and Pupil Behaviour
The book provides a variety of analyses and a range of advice on the wider issue of the effectiveness of education. It is felt that the most significant ways in which to improve pupil behaviour may well be through a fresh approach to styles of teaching and learning.
Countering Bullying
Bullying has become recognized as one of the major issues facing schools in the 1990s. There has always been bullying in schools and no school is exempt from the problem. But teachers and others working in education underestimated its extent and severity and their own responsibility to counter it. In this book 20 schools give sound and practical guidance on how they countered bullying and reduced its incidence. It describes how they used a range of strategies including videos, workpacks, plays and poems, projects and themes for morning assembly, to influence pupil's attitudes towards bullying. The schools come from the maintained and non-maintained sectors and cover the full range - urban and rural schools, single sex and denominational schools and schools serving multi-ethnic communities. The different approaches adopted by the schools are grouped within the five themes: management, the curriculum, transition, agency support and local education authorities.

Bad Boys
Black males are disproportionately "in trouble" and suspended from the nation’s school systems. This is as true now as it was when Ann Arnett Ferguson’s now classic Bad Boys was first published. Bad Boys offers a richly textured account of daily interactions between teachers and students in order to demonstrate how a group of eleven- and twelve-year-old males construct a sense of self under adverse circumstances. This new edition includes a foreword by Pedro A. Noguera, and an afterword and bibliographic essay by the author, all of which reflect on the continuing relevance of this work nearly two decades after its initial publication.
