Videotape recording of inpatient assaults: a pilot study.
Inpatient assaults were videotaped and then characterized by tape reviewers as showing high or low hostility. Over a 2-month period, the videotape reviewers documented more than twice as many high-hostility assaults as were documented by other methods of reporting.
