"Oddly Enough" is a story of an Englishman who emigrated to Australia to 1959 to work as a teacher, and, subsequently, as a psychologist, university professor and researcher, in which capacity he has established an international reputation for his work on how bullying can be countered in schools. This led to his becoming recognized internationally, travelling and lecturing worldwide, and receiving the Order of Australia Medal in 2021. "Oddly Enough" is written as a flow of consciousness of events as they are remembered and reflected upon from childhood to old age. It is meant to amuse, as well as to shed light on significant historical, social, and cultural issues of his time; such as social class; family life; schooling and education; attitudes to authority; Britain in wartime; National Service; emigration; university life; and adapting to the Australian culture. Finally, it addresses existential questions on the nature of self and the sheer oddity of existence.

NOTE NO LOGO on FRONT PANEL FOR THIS "There are books about research on bullying, and books that offer advice with only minimal reference to research. This book brings the two together-a practical book for parents that makes full use of the extensive research evidence available. An invaluable resource!" Peter K.

Bullying Interventions in Schools outlines the existing methods used to address bullying, describing when and how each method can best be applied. Six major methods are addressed: the disciplinary approach; strengthening the victim; mediation; restorative practice; support group method; and shared concern method.

This book provides the background to the research that was conducted using the Peer Relations Assessment Questionnaire (PRAQ) for the Criminology Research Council. The resulting qualitative and quantitative data on how schools in Australia have dealt with bullying is provided.

An in-depth, research-based examination of The Method of Shared Concern, which describes the multi-stage process in which suspected bullies and their victims are individually interviewed, and eventually brought together in an effort to reach resolution. It demonstrates how the method can be applied in any school environment.

Using up-to-date studies, Bullying in Schools helps us to understand the nature of bullying and why it so often takes place in schools. Importantly, it examines and evaluates what schools can do to promote more positive peer relationships within the school community and take effective and sustainable action to deal with problems that may arise.

This book examines bullying behaviour in a wide range of settings, including kindergartens, schools, the workplace, in sports and prisons. Looking at bullying in each of these areas, it discusses alternative views and perspectives on bullying, helping policy makers and professionals to coordinate their work and so tackle the problem effectively.
