Review by Choice Review

With the proliferation of social media and its integration into the daily lives of children and adolescents, cyberbullying has become a critical issue in basic school safety. Horowitz (a school district superintendent) and Bollinger (an attorney) offer a curated discussion examining the complexity of cyberbullying as a phenomenon and its effects on safety and quality of life for its victims. The text guides the reader through a foundational examination of cyberbullying interactions and the potential detrimental effects on a person's educational, emotional, and physical well-being. In addition, the authors review current legal aspects of cyberbullying across various states and the effects of cyberbullying on educational practices. While the text is not intended to serve as definitive legal advice, the discussion offers a high-quality, jargon-free examination of this complex topic. The text is highly recommended for current and future educators as well as associated professionals--including mental and medical health professionals--working in all levels of education. Additionally, the text is recommended for general readers interested in the topic. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Upper-division undergraduates and above; general readers. --Gerardo Moreno, Northeastern Illinois University

Review by Library Journal Review

Cyberbullying is a major concern for schools today. While it affects those working within these institutions and parents of schoolchildren, the behavior most directly involves the students. Coauthors Horowitz, a school superintendent, and Bollinger, an attorney and former superintendent, offer their expertise, detailing legislation pertaining to online harassment and explaining the complex issues surrounding cyberbullying. Dividing their work into three parts, the authors focus individually on students, educators, and parents, providing stories of victims and perpetrators, and actual legal cases for each particular group. While most schools already have policies in place to address cyberbullying, they must continually educate students, staff, and parents about all aspects of online harassment, including how it is currently defined, how to avoid it and/or avoid committing it, victims' and offenders' rights, and possible punishments involved. VERDICT Both a primer and a refresher course, this book is sure to find its way into many educators' hands.-Terry Christner, Hutchinson P.L., KS (c) Copyright 2014.
