Ever been in the situation where you feel you should do one thing but it goes against the 'rules' in some way? Chris researches the phenomenon of Constructive Deviance and what makes us stick to the 'rules' even when we feel we shouldn't and what makes us break them and whether or not this is a good thing in an organisation such as a school. We cover bystander apathy (a fascinating topic) and how to encourage people, including students, to intervene when they see poor behaviour. The YouTube video on distraction can be found here.
