Immigration and School Safety utilizes a multidisciplinary approach to expose the complex relationship between immigration and school safety in the United States. It addresses not only individual, intrapersonal, and environmental factors but also distant-level conditions that are relevant to the experiences of immigrant children and connected to school safety. Twenty-five percent of all youth in U.S. schools have at least one immigrant parent, and that percentage is expected to increase to 33 percent by 2040.

A wide array of factors, including but not limited to laws, public and political discourses, educational policies, interpersonal relationships, socioeconomic status, English language proficiency, citizenship, legal status, family characteristics, race and ethnicity, generational status, nationality, religion, and gender, contribute to the marginalizing experiences of children of immigrants at school. With the rapid growth of students in immigrant families in U.S. schools, any effort to address school violence and implement school safety policies must consider barriers associated with the unique educational experiences of that segment. This book highlights the often overlooked importance of immigration as a mediating factor in explaining both violence and victimization and provides a blueprint for integrating immigration and criminology theories into evidence-based efforts toward ensuring safety for all students.

The authors demonstrate that immigration matters significantly in school violence and safety concerns and illustrate why research that integrates immigration with criminology theories is needed to understand the causes and correlates of school violence. The book will appeal to a wide array of individuals, including academics, educators, policymakers, practitioners, social workers, parents, and stakeholders who are committed to addressing educational disparities and inequities associated with immigration and school safety.

This book highlights the intimate connection between racial/ethnic equity and school and community safety, the consequences of current inequities, and establishes the way forward in terms of future research, policy, and practice.

School safety has taken on increased urgency as the United States’ educational systems, families, and students grapple with the residual effects of a public health pandemic that kept students out of classrooms and away from critical supportive services. It is increasingly important to center the investigation, understanding, and policy implementations that highlight the correlates, root causes, and consequences of racial/ethnic inequality in the pursuit of school safety. This book addresses a range of aspects impacting racial/ethnic equity and school safety, all of which is being shaped by a growing population of diverse youth. The chapters in this volume touch on family, schools, neighborhoods, and communities; however, common to all of these chapters is an understanding of the challenges, barriers, consequences, and importance of connecting minoritized students to provide opportunities and protection. Thus, each of these chapters takes care to identify points for intervention, suggestions for policy, and promising directions for future research. Each study featured in this book stands out for its original and noteworthy contribution to the literature on the significance of race/ethnicity in regard to school safety research. Future research should further expand our understanding of equity, school safety, and justice for one of the fastest growing segments of the population – racial/ethnic minority youth. The growing number of racial/ethnic minority youth present both a challenge and an opportunity for increasingly diverse societies, communities, and schools. This book was originally published as a special issue of Journal of School Violence.

This book examines the associated experiences of school bullying and violence among vulnerable and marginalized youth. It discusses the effects of diversity and disparities in youth’s experiences with bullying. Among these are socioeconomic and social status, family cohesion and interactions, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity and gender expression, race, ethnicity, immigration, religion, and disabilities and special health needs. The book describes the ways in which a social-ecological framework can inform the problem and address school bullying. It addresses not only individual, intrapersonal, and environmental factors of bullying, but also discusses distal level factors and conditions that are specifically relevant to youth (e.g., culture and law). In addition, this volume contextualizes relevant multilevel factors that foster or inhibit bullying victimization among vulnerable and historically marginalized children and adolescents who are faced with cumulative social stratification.

Key areas of coverage include:

School Bullying is an essential resource for researchers, clinicians and other practitioners, graduate students, and policymakers across such disciplines as child and school psychology, social work and counseling, pediatrics and school nursing, educational policy and politics, and all interrelated disciplines.

Dieses Buch untersucht die damit verbundenen Erfahrungen mit Mobbing und Gewalt in der Schule bei gefährdeten und marginalisierten Jugendlichen. Es erörtert die Auswirkungen von Diversität und Ungleichheiten in den Erfahrungen von Jugendlichen mit Mobbing. Dazu gehören sozioökonomischer und sozialer Status, familiärer Zusammenhalt und Interaktionen, Geschlecht, sexuelle Orientierung, Geschlechtsidentität und -ausdruck, Rasse, ethnische Zugehörigkeit, Einwanderung, Religion sowie Behinderungen und besondere gesundheitliche Bedürfnisse.

Es befasst sich nicht nur mit den individuellen, intrapersonellen und umweltbedingten Faktoren von Mobbing, sondern erörtert auch Faktoren auf der distalen Ebene und Bedingungen, die speziell fürJugendliche relevant sind (z. B. Kultur und Recht). Darüber hinaus kontextualisiert dieser Band relevante Mehrebenenfaktoren, die die Viktimisierung durch Mobbing bei gefährdeten und historisch marginalisierten Kindern und Jugendlichen, die mit einer kumulativen sozialen Schichtung konfrontiert sind, fördern oder verhindern.

Zu den wichtigsten Themenbereichen gehören:

· Die Rolle der Familie (Eltern und Erziehungsberechtigte, Geschwister) - ihr Zusammenhalt und ihre Interaktionen - bei Mobbing in der Schule.

· Rasse, ethnische Zugehörigkeit, Einwanderung und Religion sowie Mobbing in der Schule bei marginalisierten und gefährdeten Jugendlichen.
