Non-Fatal Workplace Violence in Lincoln, Nebraska, 1996-1997
Description
This project investigated non-fatal workplace violence in
Lincoln, Nebraska, over an 18-month period. Workplace violence was
defined as any behavior by an individual that was intended to harm
workers of an organization, including all instances of physical and
verbal aggression and violence. The principal investigator coded all
cases of non-fatal workplace violence reported to the Lincoln Police
Department during the study period with regard to 17 factors,
including the type of workplace violence, the intimacy level of the
perpetrator (boyfriend/husband, ex-boyfriend/husband), whether a
weapon was mentioned, whether threats had been made, and the intensity
level of violence. The goals of this project were (1) to present
epidemiological information concerning non-fatal workplace violence,
(2) to address the different types of workplace violence and
differences across those types, and (3) to analyze risk factors
associated with higher and lower intensity violence.
