Rezensionen

"This book is a must-read for anyone concerned about recent international research on the emerging phenomenon of cyberbullying. The authors present an excellent aggregation of studies on the prevalence and nature as well as on the underlying mechanisms and effects of this specific kind of violent behavior." -- Georges Steffgen, Université du Luxembourg

"This book presents state-of-the-art integration of thinking and research on cyber-bullying around the world by key practitioners, orchestrated, introduced, and future-paced by three editors renowned in the study of bullying." -- Michael Bond, Hong Kong Polytechnic University

"This is a wonderful and enriching addition to the library for researchers, educators, policy makers and evaluators on the significant and emerging field of cyberbullying. It captures current thinking in the field from widely known and regarded international researchers." -- Phillip Slee, Flinders University

"The book is full of valuable information. There are few books on cyberbullying based on large cohorts of students that can be used as a guide to design intervention and policy strategies to combat the international phenomenon of cyberbullying; this is therefore a welcome addition." (Child and Adolescent Mental Health, 1 September 2013)
