Astor, Ron Avi; Benbenisthty, Rami – Oxford University Press, 2019
Since 2005, bullying, school violence, and school safety literatures have expanded dramatically in content, disciplines, and empirical studies. However, despite this massive expansion of research, there has also been a surprising lack of theoretical and empirical direction to guide efforts on how to advance basic science and practical applications…

Capp, Gordon; Astor, Ron Avi; Gilreath, Tamika D. – Journal of School Violence, 2020
School climate is increasingly intertwined with efforts to create safe schools and improve social-emotional learning and academic outcomes.

Historically, opportunity structures identified how institutional characteristics such as labor…
