Overview
Based on routine activities theory, this study examines offender motivation, suitable targets, and lack of guardianship among the mentally ill in violence in the mental health workplace, and hypothesizes that greater amounts of victimization among workers will occur when all three elements are present. The study reports on data gathered directly from employees, both quantitatively and qualitatively, focusing on the daily activities of mental health workers.
