Chapter 6 - Violence in the workplace: the antipersonnel crime theory [link]Paper  doi  abstract   bibtex   
Antipersonnel weapons used during wartime were designed and used to terrorize communities, deny access to resources, and restrict movement; similarly, violence in the workplace is used to instill fear in others in order to control them and gain personal and organizational power. Theory: In this chapter, different forms of workplace violence are defined, and their consequences on employees and the workplace are presented. A workplace violence perpetrator profile is offered, and narcissistic, Machiavellian, and psychopathic violence are addressed. Furthermore, organizational causes of workplace violence are presented. Practice: This section presents the elements that should be included in the creation of a secure workplace. Steps on how to intervene following a harassment complaint and during and after a harassment investigation are presented. Finally, the exercise for this chapter consists of creating a harassment policy and program.
