About The Act of Violence

This blog covers current events related to our interactions with each other, at work, on campus, and in life. I focus on workplace and school-based violence prevention, employee behaviors and interactions, office conflict issues, stress management, and the HR, security, training, or supervisory skills or tools needed to help with them all. I'm also interested in crime and criminal behavior, especially as it relates to keeping people safe in their work, school, and home lives.
