Coping With Violence

Coping With Violence teaches commonsense principles for the prevention and diffusion of violence against workers in any setting. It reflects Vaughan Bowie's 25 or more years experience of potentially violent work situations in mental health, welfare and youth services in such places as Western Sydney, the Bronx and Belfast.
This expanded and fully revised second edition takes into account the latest research on this subject from around the world. It will be of real, practical use to all social work, youth work, probation, social care, education, social housing, nursing, and medical personnel in potentially violent situations.

Vaughan Bowie is a Lecturer in the Department of Social Policy and Human Services at the University of Western Sydney, Macarthur, Australia.
