Store Violence
A recent article in USA Today highlighted the increase in retail store violence and a number of recent killings. Stores and malls do not want to alarm customers who will be scarred off if they have to go through metal detectors. The National Retail Federation recently released a free online training program based on DHS guidelines. The various killings highlighted in the story often involved co-workers and the risk of workplace violence is one of the biggest concerns faced by most employers and institutions.
