In this exploration of new possibilities for the reduction of workplace violence and occupational homicide within a variety of work environments, Kelleher examines the crimes of the lethal employee or ex-employee and develops a profile of characteristics and behaviors often associated with workplace violence or murder. This profile, in turn, can be used to recognize potential violence before it occurs, allowing employers to devise early and effective intervention strategies. The author develops the profile of the potentially lethal employee through behavioral science models and an analysis of case histories of incidents of occupational homicide.

Rethinking Aggression and Violence in Sport explores the psychological aspects of aggression and violence -nbsp;two intrinsic elements of competitive sport. Some people think there is no place for aggression and violence in sport. Such a view is misguided. Those who understand the real nature of contact sports know that sanctioned aggression and violence are a primary source of players' excitement, pleasure and satisfaction and thus a major factor in their motivation for participation. Others claim that soccer hooligans and other sports rioters are 'yobs' involved in a mindless activity, while the truth is that the motivation behind this behaviour is not so straightforward. This book critically examines the important issues associated with aggression and violence in sport, including: *nbsp;a review of current theory in the psychology of aggression * exploration of how players become acclimatised to physical violence *nbsp;discussion of the psychological benefits of sanctioned and unsanctioned sport violence * examination of the moral and ethical dimensions of the debate * the psychological basis of spectator aggression * case studies from a wide variety of sports. This text is a must read for researchers and students within sport studies, psychology and sociology with an interest in human violence and aggressive behaviour.
