TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Threats and violence in the care sector proposed safety measures in Swedish occupational injury reports 1987, 1997, and 2007 JO - International criminal justice review A1 - Wikman, Sofia SP - 172 EP - 193 VL - 24 IS - 2 N2 - Workplace violence is a complex occupational hazard that health care staffs are facing in today's work environment. This study examines the safety measures recommended by staff in occupational injury reports filed in the wake of violence- and threat-related injuries. The results suggest that measures relating to psychosocial factors and structural factors such as adequate staffing are much more important than surveillance, staff training, and penal sanctions.
