Networked mobbing in higher education institutions and its consequences

Mobbing in higher education institutions is still a taboo topic, and some victims never talk about it, just like victims of family violence. Usually, primary mobbers are highly positioned and therefore protected from public conviction and appropriate legal sanctions. Unfortunately, mobbing may end up with suicide of victim. For this reason, I thank the editors of the Sociological Review and the GlobeEdit for recognizing the importance of the taboo topic.
