Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Criminology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Workplace violence presents distinct risks for homicides and nonfatal assaults.
  • Understanding these differences is crucial for targeted prevention strategies.
  • Previous research highlights varying risk factors across demographics and industries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and synthesize research on workplace violence in Canada and the United States.
  • To identify and compare risk factors for workplace homicide versus nonfatal assault injuries.
  • To assess the current state of intervention research and policy development.

Main Methods:

  • Integrative literature review of studies on workplace violence.
  • Analysis of data on work-related homicides and nonfatal assaults.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Examination of demographic, occupational, and situational risk factors.

    • Main Results:

    • Risk factors for workplace homicide and nonfatal assaults significantly differ.
    • Workplace homicide disproportionately affected males, the self-employed, and workers in specific service industries (e.g., grocery, gas stations, law enforcement), often occurring during robberies.
    • Nonfatal assaults primarily impacted women in healthcare and service sectors, with notably high rates in residential and nursing care.

    Conclusions:

    • Workplace violence prevention requires tailored approaches based on specific risk profiles.
    • Further research and policy development are needed to address the diverse nature of workplace violence.
    • Intervention research remains minimal, highlighting a gap in practical solutions.
