Workplace homicide: industries and occupations at high risk.
Homicide is to blame for 20 workplace deaths each week. Although no single intervention strategy will be appropriate in all situations, the author points out that interventions cannot be designed without knowledge of the demographic characteristics of victims and the distribution of workplace violence across industries and occupations. Such data are presented by gender, age, race, geographic distribution, method of homicide, and industry and occupation.
