I would describe it as a unique, scholarly perspective on bystander intervention. Could be used in crisis training, as well.

This book offers a fresh perspective on the role of a bystander, which is a topic that has not been extensively covered in existing literature. It introduces innovative concepts and frameworks that challenge traditional views and provide deeper insights into the dynamics of bystander behavior.

A more timely than ever, evidence-based toolkit that creates awareness of social dynamics that inhibit helping, and turns passive bystanders into active, effective responders by arming them with practical strategies applicable in both everyday and emergency situations.

This book has practical examples and follow-up trainings to address a variety of emergencies while guiding people in how to respond to emergencies/address common misconceptions.

It is a well-researched book presenting how a specific social psychology issue can impact various issues in our society, and it offers evidence-based and practical stratagies to people across different fields.

Depends on the colleague. For my social psych colleagues, I would explain that the book is a social psych chapter on helping with a beneficial and practical purpose. For colleagues who work with students who want to help others, I would explain that it is an evidence-based approach designed to help people increase the likelihood that they would intervene in different kinds of uncomfortable and potentially dangerous situations.

Ever found yourself questioning whether to speak up or take action, only to be weighed down by guilt afterward? You're not alone. You are not alone. Research shows there are a number of barriers that can prevent us from taking action and most importantly how to move past them. This book offers an empowering path forward to being a better bystander.
