"I have been longing for this very important book. Even if Psychological Violence in the Workplace builds on classical work in criminology, both in theory and in method, it is more than an important contribution to scholars in criminology. It is also a major work of an analysis of a public health problem which deserves to be read more widely by psychologist, sociologist, behaviorist, governmental or business sector. "It is an exciting, stimulating and touching text which begins to fill a vacuum by challenging the way in which the dominant narrative has shaped and diminished the import of psychological violence. It is brilliantly conceptualized about violence as a social problem which mutates - reflecting changes in community, cultural and social values and norms. The book makes explicit the controversies and the contradictions which obscures the level on injury and underpins the inadequate efforts to prevent the everyday nature of the violence. It is of great concern - to all of us. "Sofia Wikman, PhD, researcher in workplace violence, Department of Criminology, Stockholm University, Sweden
