Product Description A cutting edge pioneer approach to tackilng bullying by using civil and criminal penalites of law. The only book written by an academic professor-researcher and retired federal agent with extensive experience in bullying behavior. If you feel intimidated in any environment..."if you walk on eggshells" around an individual, work or school...if you are threatened, subject to harassment in person or by phone, cell phone, email, texting or letters...if you are being watched or followed for no apparent reason And you do not have to tolerate it. Schoolyard bullying or other types of bullying is NOT a normal part of growing up-it is an attempt by one person to control another through intimidation, without respect for personal boundries and or individual differences. The reasons for discrimination are many-gender, physical size, strength and agility, physical handicap, skin, hair or eye color, religious or cultural practices...or maybe just because a person is shy and keeps to themselves. Regardless of the reason, it is still discrimination and manifests itself with a cruel twist. Bullying also isn't limited to BOYS! Girls are bullies too! Surprised? It is not geographically specific ore even geographically predominant in any given location or region of the country or world. It occurs everywhere, in every city and town across the globe, in homes, offices, in places both public and private. Dr. Matteson provides a very clear look at bullying, what it is, what kind of person does it, where it might occur-and what to do if it happens to you, your child or someone you care about. You are not helpless and without recourse! There are laws in many states, and even "hate crime" laws can assist you in putting a stop to it. BULLY BEWARE! Indeed! Arm yourself with the knowledge of the law and use it to protect yourself and those you love that may be the victims of a bully. About the Author Biography Rande W.
