Cyberbullying and Youth: From Theory to Interventions

Up to 20 per cent of young people are victims of cyberbullying however a much greater number of young people who witness cyberbullying as bystanders are also negatively affected, according a new book on cyberbullying edited by Conor McGuckin, Assistant Professor in Education at Trinity College Dublin.

The new book, “Cyberbullying: From Theory to Interventions”, co-edited by Dr McGuckin, sets out the definition and theoretical background to the emerging issue of cyberbullying and describes new evidence-based interventions to prevent and combat cyberbullying.

It provides a critical review of the existing research literature and collects insights from international researchers involved in bullying and cyberbullying research, tackling key questions such as: how is cyberbullying defined, what is the overlap with traditional bullying, and what are the negative consequences of cyberbullying?
