Bullying from Both Sides

Strategic Interventions for Working with Bullies & Victims

Walter Roberts

Today's bullies and victims are far more complex than traditional labels of "thug" and "wimp" make them out to be. As a result, educators can't rely upon traditional methods to break the cycle of bullying. In response, this landmark new book challenges educators to work effectively with bullies as well as victims, and gives them the tools to do it. Part One of Bullying From Both Sides offers concrete information to help educators understand and recognize the range of students at risk for victimization and aggression. Part Two provides counselors, administrators, and teachers with a four-point intervention plan that covers: Surveying students to prevent school violence Safeguarding victims Determining when-and how- to contact parents Handling female bullying and cyberbullying Counseling for immediate and long-term support, and more! With an annotated resource list of recommended books and videos, this invaluable resource will inspire and equip educators to prevent next week's crisis today.

Little Book of Strategic Negotiation

Negotiating during turbulent times

Jayne Seminare Docherty

Most books on negotiation assume that the negotiators are working in a stable setting--haggling over the price of a car, modifying a work contract, allocating air pollution permits. But what about those far thornier times when negotiation needs to happen while other fundamental factors are in uproarious change--deciding which parent will have a custody of their child while a divorce is underway; bargaining between workers and management during the course of a merger and downsizing; or establishing a new government as a civil war winds down. This "Little Book is about those frequent times when negotiation must happen amidst volcanic social and organizational change. It is for those absolutely unsettling occasions when the mechanisms that support negotiation are unclear, fragile, or completely missing. From Docherty's experiences in labor-management negotiations, and civil conflicts internation-ally.

Also included are sections on confronting bullying in schools, dealing with sexual and racial violence, tackling antisocial behaviour and community reconciliation after war. Whether in the context of families, schools, communities, criminal justice or prisons, the author argues that restorative justice is a 'seamless philosophy' which can be applied flexibly to meet diverse needs. Liebmann provides an international outlook, examining how restorative justice is practised around the world, including traditional Maori and Aboriginal approaches.
