Series: Researching Social Psychology

Bullying in schools has become the focus of a growing body of literature; however, much of that work diminishes the role of social context, social identities, and prejudices despite extensive research evidence suggesting that many victims of bullying are targeted because of an aspect of their social identity. This book demonstrates how the prevention and intervention of this phenomenon, termed identity-based bullying, is a social justice issue.

Expanding beyond bullying prevention that focuses on individual perpetrators, the book examines identity-based bullying in schools as a microcosm of larger systemic tensions and conflicts. The author utilizes a social constructivist perspective to understand the experiences of children as active agents in their own lives. She also provides an international framework to describe the impact of culture, social structures, and politics from the US and the UK. Challenges and barriers to addressing identity-based bullying are explored and recommendations are made for best practices for teachers, administrators, and mental health professionals to prevent and respond to identity-based bullying.

Reviews for Detection and Prevention of Identity-Based Bullying: Social Justice Perspectives

Although there are some books that begin to talk about issues related to bullying, there are few texts that directly take on bullying as a social justice issue. This book is on the cutting edge of the field and will help guide much of the content for anti-bullying programming in schools, and create school and social policy that is lacking in this area. -Toni Zimmerman, Colorado State University, USA Brinkman provides a brief, well-organized, and timely book on a fairly new topic. Parents and educators who are willing to tackle this controversial topic, especially as it applies to sexual identity-based bullying, will find it very useful. Its brevity makes it easy to read. - Stephen A. Truhon, PsycCRITIQUES
