Taking stock of violence in U.K. schools: Risk, regulation, and responsibility

Abstract

This article documents the important issues of school violence and bullying in the United Kingdom. The authors provide examples of effective interventions for preventing violence and describe some methods, grounded in a restorative and emotional intelligence framework, that have been successfully adopted in U.K. schools. The authors conclude that if violence is to be addressed, a whole school approach embedded in the wider community is required. © 2008 Corwin Press, Inc.
