Work can be murder for women

Article Abstract:

Murder in the workplace is the leading cause of occupational deaths for women. Bureau of Labor Statistics show that 42% of the work-related deaths of women in 1993 were due to assault compared to only 19% for men. This situation is attributed to the positions held by women and the nature of the violence. Many women hold frontline positions such as receptionists and sales workers that increase their exposure to potential violence. Women are also the main targets of assault by domestic partners.
