Study Uses Perpetrators to Investigate Effects of Workplace Violence
Researchers at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education (OISE) at the University of Toronto and Western University took an unconventional approach to understanding the significant effects of domestic violence in the workplace.
By seeking the views of the perpetrators of violence, the study found that domestic violence perpetration, like victimization, has costs to the workplace in terms of worker safety and productivity and that most employers lack adequate resources to help perpetrators deal with the issue.
