As an education law student in Prof de Waal's courses, Wendy shared her concern about the nature and extent of bullying at especially South African public schools. Her distress culminated in a well-written Masters in Education Law. This publication is an in- depth comparative study of the strategies used to counteract bullying at schools. It provides an international perspective in that studies completed at South African schools provide an African perspective; Australian research is used to provide an Oceanian perspective; Japanese research to provide an Asian perspective; and research conducted in England is used to provide a European perspective on bullying at schools.
