Abstract
Argues that, in the USA, violence in the workplace mirrors an increasingly violent society, resulting from many factors including stress, drug abuse, failed marital relationships and layoffs. Examines the reasons for workplace violence, its costs and legal implications. Suggests measures which organizations can take to prevent it.
