In this broadcast, Dr. Susan Limber of Clemson University will address bullying prevention in schools. She will discuss what bullying is (and isn't) and highlight several key research findings about bullying that have particularly informed her work in bullying prevention. She will describe the wide variety of ways that school personnel in the US are trying to address bullying and will highlight the importance of comprehensive school-based approaches. Finally, Dr. Limber will discuss one such comprehensive program - the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program - in some detail.
