School Violence in Context

Know about the book -

School Violence in Context is written by Rami Benbenishty and published by Oxford University Press. It's available with International Standard Book Number or ISBN identification 0190289082 (ISBN 10) and 9780190289089 (ISBN 13).

Drawing on one of the most comprehensive and representative studies of school violence ever conducted, Benbenishty and Astor explore and differentiate the many manifestations of victimization in schools, providing a new model for understanding school violence in context. The authors make striking use of the geopolitical climate of the Middle East to model school violence in terms of its context within as well as outside of the school site. This pioneering new work is unique in that it uses empirical data to show which variables and factors are similar across different cultures and which variables appear unique to different cultures. This empirical contrast of universal with culturally specific patterns is sorely needed in the school violence literature.
