This book examines overt and covert violence occurring in the school setting involving students, school personnel, and school policy, highlighting a level of violence that is often hidden, ignored, or subtly tolerated. It provides the latest research findings on issues including bullying, dating violence, and the use of corporal punishment, and suggests preventative measures to address these issues.
