Zusatztext This book is a masterful and timely review of our current understanding of the complex links between bullying and suicide and a 'must read' for both scholars and practitioners who deal with these challenges. The chapters are comprehensive in coverage and broad in scope, with efforts to understand the links between bullying and suicide for both perpetrators and victims. The authors provide a critical review of the empirical research to date and consider multiple theoretical models for understanding the mechanisms underlying the identified links between bullying and suicide; the book also addresses both implications and applications for critical stakeholders, with particular focus on education and public health. This volume provides readers with an in-depth understanding of what we know and what we don't yet understand about how bullying can lead to suicide, informing both research and practice in the field.
