Anglican Clergy as Victims of Routinized Violent Activities in Urban and Rural Localities
Few studies have considered the nature of violence and its implications for Anglican clergy. A conventional victimological approach would go no further than to identify the social correlates of victims and perpetrators.

In addition, a more critical victimology suggests that we consider the role of socio-cul…

Fear of Violence as an Indicator of Risk in Probation Work
In 2001, the Home Office launched the Offender Assessment System to help probation and prison staff predict whether known violent offenders will reoffend.

In this paper we look at the ways in which fear of violence is managed by probation staff in the course of their work. We consider the impact of fea…
Violence to Probation Staff
This article examines the impact of violence perpetrated against probation officers. It presents empirical evidence based upon work carried out under the ESRC Violence Research Programme.

Recent guidance exhorts doctors to exercise 'zero tolerance' with respect to acts of violence. The emphasis is on risk management and protecting vict…
