Summary:

Violence knows no boundaries. It attacks in schools, in families, and even in the workforce -- places that should be regarded as safe havens. Encompassing the enormity of violence through a comprehensive, biopsychosocial perspective, Handbook of Violence examines community, school, family, and workplace violence, including identification, classification, prevention, and interview programs and case management.
