Cyberbullying at University in International Contexts

Cyberbullying has become a prominent issue of the last decade. Most research has been on the phenomenon in school-age children, but as this volume demonstrates, it is also prominent amongst young adults, including those at college or university. This valuable collection includes contributions from many different countries and using different methodologies. They demonstrate the negative impact that cyberbullying has, discuss risk factors, and contribute to ways of tackling it effectively. The research presented is both a challenge to all concerned to improve cyber safety, but also a valuable source of knowledge and practical actions to help do so. Peter K Smith, Goldsmiths, University of London, UK Cyberbullying at University in International Contexts is essential reading for researchers, educators and policy-makers in the increasingly recognized world-wide problem of bullying at university level, among students and faculty. The consequences of cyberbullying for young people's mental health are considered as well as innovative interventions to challenge cyberbullying when it occurs. This interdisciplinary, cross-cultural book offers many important insights all grounded in thorough research evidence.
