Area of Science:

  • Sociology

Background:

  • Work-related violence, including robbery and assault, poses significant risks to individuals.
  • Understanding sociodemographic risk factors is crucial for developing targeted prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify sociodemographic risk factors associated with workplace robbery and assault victimization.
  • To examine differences in risk factors between men and women.

Main Methods:

  • Case-control study utilizing the National Crime Victimization Survey database.
  • Cases: 267 individuals reporting violent victimization in the past 6 months.
  • Controls: 1,783 non-victims of violent crime.

Main Results:

  • For men, younger age (<45) and lower family income (<$40,000) increased assault risk. Higher education (some college) was associated with decreased risk.
  • For women, increased risk was observed in younger age groups (16-18, 25-34) and for those divorced/separated or never-married.
  • Non-white individuals had a decreased risk of victimization compared to white individuals.

Conclusions:

  • Sociodemographic factors significantly predict workplace violence victimization, with distinct patterns for men and women.
  • Risk factors include age, income, education, marital status, and race/ethnicity.
  • Findings can inform tailored workplace safety interventions and policy development.
