Violence in the school environment is a topic of great concern in international literature, as incidents of violence in schools, affecting both children and adults, seem to be increasing in recent years. One specific form of violence that occurs in schools is bullying, a phenomenon that was initially studied in Scandinavian countries by Dan Olweus in the 1970s.

This book deals with this major problem in school life. It is a collective volume that presents mainly the results of nationwide scientific research, while also providing a comprehensive reference to the phenomenon of bullying in schools (definition, characteristics, causes, consequences) and proposing suggestions for prevention and intervention. In addition, it presents the views of parents on the subject and discusses the new form of bullying, cyberbullying.

The topic addressed in the book is not only current but also a particularly important social problem that affects the school community as a whole. Dealing with the phenomenon of bullying in the school context becomes imperative, not only because the consequences of these actions are serious for both victims and perpetrators, but also because the phenomenon is closely related to society's general attitude towards violence and oppression.

The book is aimed at students, educators, mental health professionals, parents, and anyone interested in learning about this specific phenomenon, which has gained significant attention in Greece in recent years. The accessible writing style of the book and the type of information it contains (not placing excessive emphasis on statistical analysis, but on the meaning of the numbers and findings) make it not only an essential academic aid but also a book that will attract the interest of a wider readership with a sensitivity to educational issues.
