N2  - Much of the research undertaken on workplace homicide relied on data from media accounts, investigative files, and records from victimized organizations. Empirical analysis of these types of events was considered using data from the Supplementary Homicide Reports (SHR), but this data set presents limitations for such research. This study attempted to accomplish the following: document in greater detail the known limitations; identify any additional limitations; and make recommendations that will enhance this data base and/or the evolving National Incident Based Reporting System (NIBRS) for this type of research. The SHR was searched for information on several high profile workplace homicide incidents. Notable cases of workplace homicide were found missing. Moreover, examples of improper or inadequate victim-offender relationship descriptors and/or circumstance descriptors were found with regard to other notable workplace homicide incidents. This latter problem resulted in event descriptions that prevented the identification of workplace homicide cases in the database.
