Abstract

The author presents the findings of a study that attempted to analyze the frequency, trend, and pattern of workplace assaults among community care workers who provide care for severely emotionally and behaviorally disturbed children in a state government agency in Australia between 1997 and 2000. He identifies the high risk groups and discusses activities for prevention opportunities.
