Taylor & Francis School Bullying and Mental Health
Book SynopsisBullying amongst young people is a serious and pervasive problem, and recent rapid advances in electronic communication technologies have provided even more tools for bullies to exploit. School Bullying and Mental Health collates current research evidence and theoretical perspectives about school bullying in one comprehensive volume, identifying the nature and extent of bullying and cyberbullying at school, as well as its impact on children and young peopleâs emotional health and well-being. There are many negative consequences of bullying, and children and young people who have been victimised often suffer long-term psychological problems, such as increased levels of anxiety, depressive symptoms, social isolation, loneliness and suicidal ideation. Perpetrators of bullying also have a heightened risk of experiencing problems such as anxiety and depression, as well as eating disorders and antisocial behaviour. Founded on rigorous academic research, this important bookTrade Review‘School Bullying and Mental Health: Risks, Intervention and Prevention is a unique book that covers a broad variety of relevant and cutting-edge topics spanning from theory to practice. The book discusses the tipping point at which bullying becomes a crime and considers bullying involving sexual violence and bullying targeting minorities. As well as the school setting, bullying in university and workplace settings is covered in this book, giving the reader an overview of bullying across the life-span. The consequences of bullying are considered while accounting for therapeutic work and interventions within specific social and cultural contexts. A must-read for anyone with an interest in this increasingly recognised world-wide problem.’ - Professor Muthanna Samara, Department of Psychology, Kingston University London, UK‘This is a very important book for anyone who is concerned with the nature of bullying, its consequences for the mental health and well-being of young people, and the measures that can be taken to ameliorate and prevent this ubiquitous but often hidden problem. The editors, Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers, are distinguished authorities in this complex area and bring to bear their extensive knowledge in the creation of a scholarly and very well constructed book. In dividing the volume into five distinct themes, elaborated by a wide array of international expert writers, they provide the reader with an invaluable resource that illuminates the multifarious nature of bullying in ways that are always informative, engaging, and thought-provoking. The writing is clear and accessible, but never at the expense of complexity. School Bullying and Mental Health: Risks, Intervention and Prevention offers many important insights, none more important than the fact that bullying in schools has immediate, extensive, and, in some cases, lifelong negative consequences for its victims that can be prevented through timely, informed and carefully targeted intervention. This book deserves a very wide readership among school leaders, teachers, educational psychologists, and school governors, as well as policy makers. Academics in education, and their Masters and Doctoral students studying bullying and mental health, will also find this book an indispensable source.’ - Paul Cooper, CPsychol, FBPsS, Emeritus Professor, Brunel University London, UK‘Bullying was for long spared full censure, the rigours of the criminal law and the criminological gaze, as if it were a fleeting and marginal form of misbehaviour that should be treated with an indulgence akin to benefit of clergy. But a changing understanding of childhood, greater publicity and an enhanced appreciation of who and what it is to be a victim have begun to translate it into a complex and consequential social problem. It is apparent that it is not simply confined to the playground; that it may take multiple forms and that its impact is often far from ephemeral. It is not always easy to make sense of everything that has been learned, and Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers are greatly to be thanked for having mustered educationalists, sociologists, criminologists, and psychologists from across the globe to produce such a timely and comprehensive review of the state of expert, legal, practical, and policy-relevant knowledge of the field.’ - Paul Rock, Emeritus Professor, London School of Economics, UK‘Helen Cowie and Carrie-Anne Myers realize that such an important issue as bullying needs to be viewed from different angles, based on current scientific data and appropriate methods in the field of research, intervention, and prevention. They gathered scientific researchers as well as practitioners in bullying prevention and treatment from various countries: UK, USA, Greece, Malta, Sweden, Spain, Pakistan, Australia, Ireland, and Finland. All of them share with us their impressive knowledge and practical experiences for dealing with bullying. Therefore, the book will be of great value for a range of practitioners (teachers, psychologists etc.), but also for university teachers and students, interested parents of both bullies and victims, and all those victimized people who are searching for the right answers.’ - Renata Miljević-Riđički, Professor in the Faculty of Teacher Education, University of Zagreb, CroatiaTable of ContentsSeries Editor's Foreword Contributors Theme 1: The Nature of Bullying 1.

Taylor & Francis Sadomasochism Popular Culture and Revolt A
Book SynopsisSadomasochism, Popular Culture and Revolt: A Pornography of Violence explores powerful connections between violent pornography and current gender wars, generational conflicts, political struggles, and racial and ethnic unrest. Long before these conflicts dominated headlines worldwide, they become embedded and contextualized in popular culture. Tracing the history of todayâs popular porn genres, including torture porn, revenge porn, war porn, and fascist porn, Tom Pollard reveals a sadomasochistic trope of fictional and real sexual violence and sexual justice that had largely remained hidden and suppressed. Today it has exploded into public awareness by mass movements like #MeToo demanding justice for sexual assault victims. This movement joins other recent social movements, including Black Lives Matter and advocates of safety from gun violence, which, along with #MeToo, constitute a revolt of submissives no longer willing to endure unwanted violence.This thoughtful examination of the history and content of violent pornography reveals portentous patterns and developing trends. By examining pornographyâs violent content, Pollard forces us to confront wider social and cultural violence. Sadomasochism, Popular Culture and Revolt will be of great interest to scholars of gay and lesbian studies and queer studies, while being a vital text for undergraduate and graduate instructors of social movement studies in sociology, political science, American Studies, and history.Table of ContentsPreface 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Restorative Responses to Sexual Violence
Book SynopsisSexual violence, in all its forms, is a crime for which anecdotal accounts and scholarly reports suggest victims in their great majority do not receive adequate justice' or redress. The theory and practice of restorative justice is rapidly developing and offers some well-argued new avenues for dealings with crime in general. It has the potential to be extended to cases of sexual violence and a number of small scale programmes are already underway across the world. Restorative Responses to Sexual Violence examines this innovative justice paradigm in more depth in the particular context of sexual trauma and violence in order to establish the empirical realities of restorative justice approaches in cases of sexual violence, and considers how such approaches could be developed adequately in the future. This book is divided into two parts, each representing a key area of research and practice: theoretical and conceptual frameworks, and justice and therapeutic perspectives.<Trade Review"This is a brave edited collection. The juxtaposition of restorative justice with sexual violence is an emotive topic and this collection faces the problems and the possibilities inherent in doing so with care, craft and thought. It brings together international expertise and will be of interest to an international audience. The editors are to be congratulated for putting such a valuable collection together that deserves to be read by a wide audience of practitioners, researchers and academics."Sandra Walklate, Eleanor Rathbone Chair of Sociology, University of Liverpool, Professor of Criminology, Monash University, Australia, and Adjunct Professor School of Justice, Queensland University of Technology, Australia"This important book represents a major step forward in understanding the harms of sexual assault and the profound needs that survivors have in its aftermath. Presenting research from around the world, the authors examine how restorative justice may both meet and fail to meet these needs. In my view, this remarkable collection will guide work on this topic for many years to come."James Ptacek, Professor and Chair, Department of Sociology, Suffolk University, USATable of ContentsRestorative responses to sexual violence: an introduction, Estelle Zinsstag and Marie Keenan Part I: Theoretical and conceptual frameworks 1.

Taylor & Francis Ltd Campus Sexual Violence
Book SynopsisCampus Sexual Violence: A State of Institutionalized Sexual Terrorism conceptualizes sexual violence on college campuses as a form of sexual terrorism, arguing that institutional compliance and inaction within the neoliberal university perpetuate a system of sexual terrorism. Using a sexual terrorism framework, the authors examine a myriad of examples of campus sexual violence with an intersectional lens and explore the role of the institution and the influence of neoliberalism in undermining sexual violence prevention efforts. The book utilizes Carole Sheffield's five components of sexual terrorism (ideology, propaganda, amorality, perceptions of the perpetrator, and voluntary compliance) to describe how the ivory tower stereotype and adoption of neoliberal values into education contribute to an environment where victimization is painfully common. Cases such as those from Michigan State University and Baylor University are used as examples to highliTrade Review"In this book, Sarah Prior and Brooke de Heer shine a much-needed spotlight on the role of institutions of higher education in creating, maintaining, and perpetuating harm associated with sexual violence. By adopting an institutional lens, they invite all of us to consider how our strategies must engage with the institutional forces shaping modern American universities if we hope to meaningfully prevent sexual violence on campus. This book is truly a must-read for anyone who cares about ending campus sexual assault!"- Carrie Moylan, Associate Professor, Michigan State University"Campus Sexual Violence: A State of Institutionalized Sexual Terrorism is a must-read for anyone concerned about the insidious prevalence of sexual violence— and rape culture altogether— on our university campuses. This insightful, timely book is a significant contribution to the existing literature. Drawing upon the important concepts of sexual terrorism and intersectionality, Prior and De Heer provide a crucial challenge to all institutions of higher learning— it is time for them to acknowledge the effects of their increasing corporatization on survivors of sexual violence and to instead become sites of greater civic responsibility, reform, and social justice. Campus Sexual Violence promises to have relevance across a wide variety of academic fields and disciplines. And, I believe that it will also have far-reaching impacts outside of the academy in the years to come."- Laura Gray-Rosendale, Professor, Northern Arizona UniversityTable of ContentsIntroductionChapter 1: Scope of the IssueChapter 2: Sexual Terrorism Chapter 3: Neoliberalism and Institutional BetrayalChapter 4: Ideology and PropagandaChapter 5: Amorality, Voluntary Socialized Compliance, and Perceptions of the PerpetratorChapter 6: Moving Forward
