Violence in the Workplace: Learn the Facts So You Can Identify the Signs

In looking over the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) data for the last ten years, assaults and violent acts in the workplace continue as one of the top three leading causes of death of employees.  Today’s statistics continue to show this chilling trend:

In 2009, an average of 15 employees were killed each week as a result of workplace violence.

75% of workplace homicides occur at the hands of robbers and other assailants.

17% of workplace homicides occur at the hands of coworkers and customers/clients.

It is truly distressing to know that every time an employee walks through the doors of their employer, they are at risk of becoming a victim of a workplace crime.  For this reason, it’s important for employers and employees alike to take time to learn the facts about violence in the workplace, as well as the tell-tale signs that, when identified and dealt with early enough, can help save lives.

Solution to Teen Violence

Violence is defined as any type of physical behavior that causes injury to another person. Teen violence ranges from simple threats to varying degrees of aggression such as beating, stabbing, shooting, and even murder. Teen violence is a common concern today and is gradually becoming a serious social problem.

Teen violence is a learned behavior and can be the outcome of a multitude of interrelated factors. Teens may be the victims of physical or sexual abuse, they may have been exposed to violence at home or in their community, they may have been exposed to violence in media (TV, movies, music, etc.), they may have abused drugs or alcohol. Teen violence may also be the result of stressful socioeconomic factors such as poverty, severe deprivation, marital break up, unemployment or the loss of support from extended family. All these are risk factors that can be significantly reduced or eliminated in order to decrease or even prevent violent teen behavior. More importantly drastic measures should be taken to decrease the exposure of teenagers to violence at home, in the community and through media.

Definition of Domestic Violence

In general, domestic violence is defined as harmful acts used by one person to control the other. These acts may include physical, sexual, emotional or verbal abuse, threats, intimidation, intentional isolation and/or financial control. The abuser may be a current or former spouse, boyfriend or girlfriend or someone the person has had a past dating relationship with. The abuser also can be someone in a position of authority, like a caretaker or even a parent. Domestic violence can occur regardless of the ages or sexual orientation of the victim and abuser and happens across all races, ethnicities and religions.

Given the broadness of the definition of domestic violence, the law draws a narrower definition. Under the New Jersey Code, domestic violence is defined as the commission of one of the following crimes against someone protected under the Prevention of Domestic Violence Act (N.J.S.A. 2C:25-19):

Domestic Violence When Living With an Alcoholic

If you live with an alcoholic, you may live with domestic violence as well. Many people that drink can become violent if they get upset. This might not be the case for some, but when a person drinks, it changes how they think. The sad thing about domestic violence where an alcoholic is concerned is that they may never display this type of behavior when they are not drinking. However, even the mildest mannered person can show signs of an entirely different person when drinking. You have to walk on eggshells when you live with someone that drinks.

The first time you are hit, may be the only time for a while, but you cannot let your guard down ever. The apologies and kindness that follows may be comforting. Nevertheless, what happens the next time the alcoholic gets angry? You could be the fault of this as well. Sometimes you do not even have to be the root of the anger and you will still be the one that is abused. Domestic violence that continues will mean that other steps must be taken.
