Summary What to do about bullying in schools is an ever-expanding field, requiring constant monitoring as new ideas appear and new resources become available. With the publication of this second edition of Stop the Bullying I have been able to take recent developmentsinto account in revising some of the contents of the earlier edition and adding further material of a practical nature. The issue of whether schools in Australia should take action against bullying is nowwell and truly over. The question has become: How can schools best deal with the problem?
