Characteristics of Violence in State Government

VIVIAN B. LORD

University of North Carolina at Charlotte

This study examines workplace victimization of state government employees. The scope of the violence, demographic and job-related characteristics of victims, levels of violence, and the relationships between victims and perpetrators are explored. Findings indicate that violence is widespread, although it is primarily verbal in nature. Significant relationships are found between the victim's job classification and violence, as well as the association between the victim and perpetrator and the level of violence. Results support studies citing managerial and public safety job categories as high risk for violence but do not find significant workplace violence among domestic partners.
