Book reviews International Journal of Emotional Education, 15(2)
The books reviewed here explore the myriad ways in which the relationships that children and young people experience within the family, in schools and community, and with their peers have a profound impact on their development. The first book, L'apprendimento sociale ed emotivo. Teorie e buone pratiche per promuovere la salute mentale a scuola by Valeria Cavioni & Ilaria Grazzani, provides an extremely useful theoretical overview of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) and the various explanatory models that underpin it. The research evidence is clearly evaluated and the implications for practice explored by two renowned experts in the field. Examples of recent interventions as practised in schools today will be useful for researchers and teachers alike, as well as for those who are developing policies to enhance the emotional health and wellbeing of all children and young people, and for all healthcare professionals who work with children and youth. It is published in Italian but it is to be hoped that a translation into English will soon be forthcoming so that it will reach a wider audience.

I have been bullied. Now what?
You know people who have been bullied; we all do. Even President Barack Obama has childhood memories of having been a target. For whatever reason, one of the unfortunate rites of passage of childhood and adolescence is either witnessing or directly suffering from bullying. Although bullying is an all too common occurrence, finding out what remedies exist is far less known. Luckily, readers of this book will learn how to cope, what peers can do to help, and how schools, parents, and communities can begin to rein in bad behavior that has been tacitly accepted for far too long.

School Bullying Among Iranian Adolescents: Considering a Higher Moderation Model in Situational Action Theory
Bullying, particularly among teenagers and young adults, is one of the most important issues facing school communities. At its very heart, this issue speaks to a troubling form of deviant behavior. When students engage in bullying behaviors, the effects are felt far beyond that of the direct victim. As such, it is important to investigate the etiology of such behavior in an effort to implement preventative practices. Accordingly, the main purpose of this study is to explain why students engage in bullying. Specifically, we use Wikström’s situational action theory as a conceptual framework. A sample of 488 high school students (aged 15–18) from Rasht, Iran was used to test assumptions related to situational action theory, and the findings of this research generally demonstrated that the components of situational theory predicted students’ bullying behavior. Moderating relationships in the situational action model indicated an interactive effect on bullying between criminal propensity and exposure to crime. Moreover, three-way interactions (personal morality—self-control—situational morality and personal morality—self-control—deterrence) yielded mixed statistical effects on bullying. Specific results, policy implications, study limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

Combatting \slut\ shaming
All types of bullying are toxic, but one kind known as slut shaming can have particularly nasty consequences. Slut shaming supports a culture that tries to control women's choices. This culture leads to higher rates of sexual assault, depression, and even suicide. Women who are slut shamed online face additional harm to their reputations, particularly in their college and professional careers. This important resource will explain what slut shaming is, why it is so harmful, and how to stop feeding into the culture that supports it.

Digital displacement of youth offending: addressing the issue
Purpose
Global evidence suggests a potential displacement of youth offending from the physical to the digital landscape, requiring revision of existing detection and intervention methods. This study aims to explore pathways from harmful to illegal online activity perpetrated by young people, legislation and police perspectives, current detection methods and interventions.
Design/methodology/approach
This perspective paper examines issues observed within a larger systematic literature review on digital youth offending.
Findings
A trajectory from acceptable to harmful and subsequently illegal behaviour was identified, with a particular pathway from unethical video game activity to digitally dependent offending. Legislation and police perspectives vary by jurisdiction, with a common theme that increased officer education is key to the level of preparedness to investigate cases. Machine learning and automatic prevention show promise as detection and disruption processes, with education recommended for young people as a deterrent and redirection of skills to positive outcomes.
Research limitations/implications
Recommendations for further research include a broad survey of school students to include all identified areas of digital offending, which could drive the development of targeted education by law enforcement and partner agencies for young people.
Practical implications
The shift in youth offending requires the justice and educational systems to adjust how they respond to youth crime. Policy and practise shifts can include further exploration of investigative hacking, education for law enforcement and educational prevention and redirection programmes aimed at youth.
Originality/value
The digital displacement of youth offending is a progressively emerging concept. This paper examines the current state of response from educational and law enforcement agencies and discusses the next steps based on what is currently known.
