"As rates of school bullying continue to increase, as well as the methods evolve, this work is relevant to a multitude of academics, practitioners, and policymakers. It demonstrates the many ways bullying can be explained, especially as victims of bullying come from many varied life experiences and circumstances."--Catherine D. Marcum, Appalachian State University "Focusing on a timely topic, this book helps readers understand the different assumptions, explanations, and policy implications of the major schools of thought in criminological theory. It demonstrates the crucial role of theory for understanding and addressing real-world harms-and its creative, relatable approach will help to spark the 'criminological imagination' of students."--Randy Myers, University of Washington Tacoma
