Increasingly, it is being recognized that the solution to health and social justice problems requires that we engage bystanders Ð individuals who observe a problem and want to do s omething but donÕt. Despite the importance of this issue and the fact that most people want to Òdo the right thingÓ there are almost no books which explain bystander behavior, why it occurs, and what can be done about it. This book meets this need, reviewing research and theory on bystander behavior, explaining why people donÕt act even when not acting goes against their conscience and values, and offering practical solutions and skills for intervening in a safe, effective and respectful way. If you were ever worried about someoneÕs behavior and wanted to do something but didnÕt, this book is for you. Show more
