Review
The Wishing Shelf Awards
The Bullies’ Predatory Footprint is an important, interesting and thoughtful contribution to the analysis and understanding of bullying behaviour. Wide ranging in scope, it covers cyber bullying, bullying of the elderly and even the role of the union, and will be of great interest and help to anybody working with the victims of bullying behaviour. The chapters, ‘Successful Career Psychopaths’ and The Predatory Playgrounds of the Workplace’ are particularly valuable, awash with challenging and valuable insights.
I was highly impressed by the layout of the book, sensibly divided into fifteen easy-to-follow chapters which are then subdivided into manageable blocks The author shows a thorough understanding of victims and the role they play in bullying, and also the power of the bystander who are often ‘unwitting collaborators and cohorts on the side of the bully’. The author is also particularly strong at analysing the social and monetary costs of bullying to society and government and highlights the failure of the IMF and the OECD to quantify the costs of bullying.
Throughout the text, Ryan makes reference to a number of important texts including a study in Sweden, ‘Threats and Humiliating Behaviour’, the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work Annual Report and the publications of the World Health Organization, providing further support for the author’s conclusions.
Chapter Five, The Predatory Playgrounds of the Workplace, was particularly interesting. In it, the author looks at negative behaviour in the workplace and how it is ‘complicit with management practices and culture’. The section on how protecting senior staff is also seen as protecting the company was well-structured and enlightening.
Many of the chapters begin with a quote. For example, Chapter Nine, Global Legislation on Bullying, begins with ‘It may be true that the law cannot make a man love me, but it can keep him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important.’ Arthur Luther King.
This clever way of beginning a chapter helps to make it accessible to the layman. This particular chapter then went on to look at the ways in which specialised legislation deals with negative behaviour towards individuals. It is quite comprehensive, looking at Health and Safety Acts and criminal law in a number of countries.
The Bullies’ Predatory Footprint would be extremely helpful to children, parents and to anybody who must face the problems of bullying, and would form an excellent basis for an anti-bullying course, for example, as part of a teacher training or business management course.
A very insightful read, profound without being murky, and written with a ‘light touch’, readers will not be bogged down in rhetoric but will, instead, come to understand bullying at every age and in every aspect of life.
Bullying is a widely encountered, yet studiously ignored phenomenon. It is multifarious, pernicious, insidious, and all-pervasive it is to be found in every setting - inter alia, schools, the workplace, and Church - and on every platform, cyberspace included. Bullying costs billions a year in terms of lost productivity, damaged relationships, traumatized victims, and the fraying of the tenuous fabric of trust that holds together society.
The author distills into 200 pages literally everything you need to knows about this growing pandemic, replete with numerous original insights culled from and based upon multiple recent academic studies. A survey of legislation throughout the world (with emphasis on Europe) exposes the dearth of regulation, the inadequacy of policies, and how our institutions - from governments to trade unions - shirk their responsibility to protect us from what amounts to criminal misconduct. In this sense, the book is a powerful - and unparalleled - advocacy tool. A must. Sam Vaknin, author of "Malignant Self-love Narcissism Revisited"
After reading this book one cannot help but come to realize just how complex the problem of bullying is not only in American culture but throughout the world. It seemed to only receive significant attention in the United States in the wake of the Columbine and Sandy Hook tragedies. As the author pointed out in Chapter 4 School Bullying and Cyberbulling it was discovered that those who perpetrated violence in a number of school attacks "had experienced bullying and harassment that was long standing".
What is bullying? Herein lies the initial problem according to the author in Chapter 1 The Global Explosion of Bullies, Victims and Bystanders. A number of definitions are explored including those by the Norwegian psychologist Dan Olweus, Pepler and Craig and the British criminologist Farrington and possible reasons for perpetrator's behavior identified. The author then makes a most valid point which seems to become the central theme of this book "The widespread confusion created through the use of terminology have created huge challenges to conducting objective surveys, and has made comparative studies between countries or occupations difficult. Conjecture and confusion on definition has impeded the introduction of legislation, as definition generally forms--the reference point from which statutes and standards follow." This is so very true paricularly in the United States where any individual can be terminated from employment for any reason at any time in what is known as Right to Work states. Laws whose initial intent may have been to protect possible victims of bullying end up working against them only standing to revictimize them once again.
This book takes on a monumental task is trying to address not only international bullying behaviors but types of bullying prevalent within all of the countries cited including, as already stated, Chapter 4 School Bullying and Cyberbullying, but also in Chapter 5 The Predatory Playground of Workplace, Chapter 11 Bullying of the Elderly and Chapter 12 Institutional Bullying. I think in trying so hard to be comprehensive the book sometimes would get lost in seemingly unconnected detail making it difficult for the reader to follow. It is unique however in that I find it to be the very first book that I have discovered trying to address such a global problem. I applaud the author for her hard work on this important matter but would challenge her for sequels on particular areas focusing on each one only one at a time. It seems that it would make what is written more comprehensible and its message better absorbed.
