School Bullying in Different Cultures : Eastern and Western Perspectives Paperback / softback
Edited by Peter K. (Goldsmiths, University of London) Smith, Keumjoo (Seoul National University) Kwak, Yuichi Toda
Paperback / softback
Description
School bullying is widely recognized as an international problem, but publications have focussed on the Western tradition of research.
A long tradition of research in Japan and South Korea, and more recently in mainland China and Hong Kong, has had much less exposure.
There are important and interesting differences in the nature of school bullying in Eastern and Western countries, as the first two parts of this book demonstrate.
The third part examines possible reasons for these differences - methodological issues, school systems, societal values and linguistic issues.
The final part looks at the implications for interventions to reduce school bullying and what we can learn from experiences in other countries.
This is the first volume to bring together these perspectives on school bullying from a range of Eastern as well as Western countries.
