Summary: Help for us all
Review: "HUMAN RESOURCES PROFESSIONALS AND IN-HOUSE COUNSEL SHOULD UTTER A COLLECTIVE SIGH OF RELIEF. Drs. James Turner and Michael Gelles have parlayed their vast years of experience with-and extensive study of-workplace violence into A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE aptly named Threat Assessment. For those on the front line in the workplace who know that the statistical odds are high that they will be forced to deal with a threat or incident of violence, this unique book METHODICALLY LAYS OUT THE ISSUES, THE ANALYSES AND THE POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS. The case studies-based on thousands of actual cases on which Drs. Turner and Gelles consulted-are INSTRUCTIVE AND INVALUABLE. No longer does a human resources professional have to freeze, not knowing whether s/he is facing a grave threat or simply a bluffing bully. Like conducting regular disaster or fire drills, reading this book PROVIDES THE PREPARATION ONE NEEDS to calmly but rapidly access the threat, implement the Crisis Management Plan and, hopefully, avoid catastrophe."
