Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This book is a wonderful continuation of / and complement to Bullying Beyond the Schoolyard by Hinduja and Patchin(2009). It is especially strong on programs aimed at prevention and education regarding use of the internet by youth. It emphasizes education, not criminalization. In that regard it is quite positive. The review of recent court decisions, including Supreme Court rulings, is an encouraging aspect for school districts. It is a must-read for anyone dealing with youth and the internet.
