Review:
"This somewhat academic, but readable, treatment of school violence (including the increasing trend of bullying) should give a wake-up call to every adult working with young people....This resource should be considered for all school and library professional reading collections."-School Library Journal
"[S]exton-Radek presents essays by academicians and psychologists, exploring definitions and causes of violence in schools and how it can be prevented....[p]arents and teachers, as well as psychologists, will find this a useful resource for dealing with a troubling social trend."-Booklist
"Because of the specific and academic nature of the text, the discussion presented is most useful for psychologists and educators looking to understand and address school violence issues, but it might also be a helpful tool for parents and high school students looking for information."-VOYA

"The fact that youth and violence mix at alarming rates, especially in schools, is supported by plentiful research. This book examines the theoretical foundations of violence prevention, prevention programs, and research on conflict resolution. The first two sections will be particularly useful to teachers who regularly witness incidents of bullying and conflict in the classroom."-Curriculum Connections
