• Description:
  What is already known about this topic? Workplace violence can lead to adverse health and work outcomes. Few data sources are available for estimating national prevalence of nonfatal workplace violence. What is added by this report? Approximately eight nonfatal violent workplace crimes were reported per 1,000 U.S. workers during 2007-2015; 58% of crimes were not reported to police. Highest rates of crime were among Protective services, Community and social services, and Healthcare occupations. More crimes against women than men were reportedly committed by offenders known from the workplace. What are the implications for public health practice? The incidence of nonfatal workplace violence varies by worker characteristics. Violence prevention programs might benefit from having different approaches for specific worker groups.
