Description:

Drawing on research carried out by the authors, this text covers issues relating to how violence has grown in America, in terms of its increase in the home and the workplace, and in terms of its implications for healthcare, the economy, individual attitudes and public policy.

Synopsis:

Alarming news reports point to an almost incomprehensible problem of violence in America. Understanding this problem requires timely and accurate information about the magnitude and scope of violence, the effect of violence on our society, and society's perceptions of violence. Statistical Handbook on Violence in America is the authoritative source of data gathered from widely scattered sources, both published and unpublished, and assembled in a single volume for accurate and efficient access. Featuring 377 tables and figures, this volume reveals data on victims and offenders, as well as the association of violence with: the home, health care, individual attitudes, the workplace, the economy, and public policy issues.
