Bullying as a Social Experience presents data from both the US and New Zealand and draws on past research from around the world to show how social context and factors shape individuals’ behaviors and experiences. By engaging with bullying from a sociological framework, it becomes clearer how bullying occurs and why it persists throughout a society, whilst also allowing for the development of means by which the social factors that support such behavior can be addressed through intervention. An empirically rich and engaged analysis of the social factors involved in bullying at group, school and community levels, Bullying as a Social Experience will be of interest not only to social scientists working on the study of childhood and youth, bullying and cyber bullying, but also to educators and practitioners seeking new approaches to the prevention of bullying, as each chapter contains discussions concerning intervention and prevention practices and programs.
Global criminology is an emerging field covering international and transnational crimes that have not traditionally been the focus of mainstream criminology or criminal justice.

In this book, Robert A. Brooks and Jeffrey W. Cohen provide a concise, targeted overview of the major criminological theories to explain the phenomenon of school bullying, bringing to life what is often dense and confusing material with concrete case examples. Criminology Explains School Bullying is a valuable resource in criminology or juvenile delinquency classes, as well as special-topics classes on school violence, bullying, or the school-to-prison pipeline. Charts, critical thinking questions, and implications for practice and policy illuminate real-world applications, making this is a go-to book for teachers, students, and researchers interested in an empirically driven synthesis of criminological theory as it applies to school bullying.
In Devaluing Public Apologies in the Age of Social Media, Joshua M. Bentley argues that apologies are losing their meaning in American society as organizations and public figures treat them as strategical tools without considering their ethical implications. As the demand for apologies in the age of social media continues to increase exponentially, Bentley posits, the apologies that are given carry less and less weight to the public. This book examines how controversial figures like Donald Trump and Joe Rogan, as well as brands like Google and Bud Light, have addressed public controversies both effectively and ineffectively, illustrating how social media, polarization, and cancel culture are changing the way apologies are given and received. If apologies are to serve their historical role of resolving conflict peacefully, Bentley argues, they must be placed back into their proper ethical context. This book offers insight on how individuals and organizations can ensure their apologies reflect their authentic values. Scholars of communication, ethics, media studies, political science, and public relations will find it especially useful.
