Research on workplace violence has proliferated in recent years. "Handbook of Workplace Violence" reflects and summarizes the current state of knowledge regarding all aspects of workplace violence and aggression. This volume presents a comprehensive overview of current theory, research and organizational practice relating to workplace violence and aggression. Part One of the book summarizes the leading theoretical perspectives on violence and aggression and provides prevalence estimates for aggression and violence in North American workplaces. In Part Two, leading experts in the field summarize what is known about the sources of workplace violence, forms of aggression in the workplace and populations at special risk for workplace violence and aggression. Part Three of the book considers the experience of victims (as well as individual) and organizational interventions designed to prevent, or ameliorate the consequences of, workplace violence.
