With authority that reflects years of practice and an impressive command of the literature, the authors present a cogent summary of what is known about workplace violence and offer their recommendations for assessing risk. The book is an excellent reference for everyone interested in workplace violence, including mental health, human resources, security, law enforcement, and legal professionals. For education and training purposes, it is an irreplaceable text; for conducting evaluations, it is a must-have practice guide.” |

| “The
WAVR-21 is a tool many of us have needed for a long time. The instrument
comprehensively provides a standard approach that may be recommended
when issues of workplace violence risk come to light. Even relatively
uninitiated Users will find the manual extremely useful. As a technical
compass, the WAVR-21 leaves little room for omitting key data that
will be required to quickly and clearly guide a constructive assessment
and intelligent management of these risks. I plan to use this tool
in the future. The manual is easy to read, and the abundance of
worthwhile references and suggested reading included comes as a
bonus.” |

the user to systematically approach cases and render accurate, reliable,

concise and parsimonious approach to threat assessment." |
