2 results foundAuthor: Harrell, Erika Title: Workplace Violence, 1993-2009 Summary: In 2009, approximately 572,000 nonfatal violent crimes (rape/sexual assault, robbery, and aggravated and simple assault) occurred against persons age 16 or older while they were at work or on duty, based on findings from the National Crime Victimization Survey (NCVS). This accounted for about 24% of nonfatal violence against employed persons age 16 or older. Nonfatal violence in the workplace was about 15% of all nonfatal violent crime against persons age 16 or older. The rate of violent crime against employed persons has declined since 1993. In 2009, an estimated 4 violent crimes per 1,000 employed persons age 16 or older were committed while the victims were at work or on duty, compared to 6 violent crimes per 1,000 employed persons age 16 or older in 2002. In 1993, the rate of nonfatal violence was 16 violent crimes per 1,000 employed persons while at work, a rate 75% higher than in 2009. According to 2009 preliminary data, 521 persons age 16 or older were victims of homicide in the workplace. In about a third of workplace homicides from 2005-2009, the victim worked in a sales or office occupation. The data on homicides in this report are based on the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Census of Fatal Occupational Injuries (CFOI).

Author: Society for Human Resource Management Title: SHRM Workplace Violence Survey Summary: In June 2003, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) conducted the Workplace Violence Survey to determine the prevalence of violence in today’s organizations, the steps companies take to prepare for and prevent violence, and how they deal with the aftermath of violence. The survey results in this report are compared, when possible, to previous workplace violence surveys conducted by SHRM in 1999 and 1996. The most recent survey is based on previous ones, although questions have been modified and added. Some variations reflect changes in human resource practices as well as factors affecting employee feelings about workplace security since September 11 and increased threats of terrorism. In order to provide a framework to organize the data, some survey questions asked respondents to report on violent incidents and violence prevention activities from January 1, 2000 to June 2003. This three and one-half-year period is similar to that provided to participants in the 1999 and 1996 workplace violence surveys. Survey results are organized into four sections: • Incidence(s) of violent acts; • What organizations do to prepare before violence occurs; • Steps organizations take after violence occurs; and • Security measures organizations have in place to protect employees. Statistically significant results of the analysis by organization size are included in the results section of this report. Details: Alexandria, VA: SHRM, 2004. 52p.
