| Abstract |
This book explores the range of aggressive acts that occur in workplaces, including homicides, assaults, sexual harassment, threats, bullying, mobbing and verbal abuse. Part I examines patterns and trends in workplace violence, identifies occupations at risk and tries to find explanations for violent occurrences. Part II covers the response to violence at the national and supranational levels through legal measures, collective agreements, preventive strategies and best practices. Part III attempts to draw lessons and highlights the need for international action and the role of the ILO. Updates the second edition (see CIS 00-599). |
