"Dr. Dan Olweus and his team have gone from strength to strength in their bullying prevention efforts with this new guide. I concur with the authors' stress on systems change as the key to violence prevention, and in expanding the audience outside the doors of the school to members of the community. Beautifully written and carefully researched, this guide comes highly recommended."

"The Olweus Bullying Prevention Program has had a positive impact on our entire school of over 650 students and staff. We have become a safe, predictable environment for all, and all feel empowered to make a difference. Following our first full year of implementation, the reported bullying referrals have decreased by 68 percent."

"Philadelphia is the seventh largest school district in the United States. Since 2001, the Olweus Bullying Prevention Program has been implemented in 40 schools and our data shows that when implemented with fidelity, the program not only reduces bullying behaviors, but it effectively provides the framework for systemic improvement in school climate and safety."
