This volume explores the connections between variations of bullying that manifests in multiple forms of violence and victimization. It also describes how bullying dynamics can affect individuals, families, and communities. Using a universal definition of bullying dynamics, chapters discuss bullying roles during different developmental periods across the lifespan. In addition, chapters review each role in the bullying dynamic and discuss behavioral health consequences, prevention strategies, and ways to promote restorative justice to decrease the impact of toxic bullying behaviors on society. The book concludes with recommendations for possible solutions and prevention suggestions. Topics featured in this book include: Mental health and the neurobiological impacts of bullying. The prevalence of bystanders and their behavior in bullying dynamics. The relationship between traditional bullying and cyberbullying. How bullying causes trauma. Sibling violence and bullying. Bullying in intimate partner relationships. Elder abuse as a form of bullying. Why bullying is a global public health concern.

Caroline Evans, Ph.D.: For my husband and best friend Louis, who always provides unwavering support and wise council. And for our two wonderful daughters Alia and Alenathe next generation of strong upstanders.

This book is also dedicated to:

All the people who have been bullied, you did not deserve such disrespect.

All the people who bullied others, you can break the cycle of violence and aggression.

All the people who stood by as frightened witnesses, may you find the courage to intervene.

All the people who stood up for a victim, you are everyday heroes. Some day, we will all be upstanders rather than bystanders.

1.1 Introduction

Bullying. A single word that conjures up many strong images. What comes to your mind? The traditional image of the biggest kid in the classroom stealing lunch money? Or the geeky looking boy in glasses getting stuffed into a locker? Perhaps a group of popular girls whispering and snickering around an exclusive lunch table while a left-out onlooker sits alone? Or maybe a string of mean and hurtful text messages sent day after day? Bullying comes in many shapes and sizes, and for the last two decades or so, the national spotlight on bullying has intensified. Increased media attention to bullying, frantic parents, worried school personnel, and the multiple suicides of bullied youth have spurred bullying researchers to investigate the devastating consequences of bullying and to create and test bullying intervention programs. As a result, bullying research now has a unique niche under the umbrella of violence research.
