Workplace violence has emerged as a growing concern in today's interdependent political economy, and increasing attention is being paid to the phenomenon by both business and in the academic world to identifying its causes and to devise strategies to prevent it. In this book a distinguished international team, composed of both academics and practitioners, identifies and addresses the key issues. It reviews the earlier literature on workplace violence, identifying and assessing key trends and patterns of violence at work, and reapplying traditional theories of victimisation and approaches to prevention, security and safety. Particular attention is paid to case studies which reflect innovative practice in prevention strategies, and in assessing informal frameworks which have been developed in response to this. Overall this book provides a foundation on which to base ways of better explaining, predicting, understanding and preventing workplace violence.

Industry Reviews

A timely compilation of the latest research and information ? The high standard is maintained by the contributions from well-known international experts ? Violence at Work concludes with two excellent guides to further action ? The editors' aim was to provide a resource to describe, understand and prevent traditional and non-traditional (eg stalking) forms of workplace violence. This has been done well and I believe this book belongs in the "must read" category for anyone serious about understanding this dimension of the work environment. - Emergency Support Network newsletter, Vol 8(2), June 2002
