Social Workers at Risk: The Prevention and Management of Violence (British Association of Social Workers (BASW) Practical Social Work)

The authors would like to thank colleagues who have helped in the preparation of this book, especially David Ward and the Research Section Staff at Winchester, and Professor John Martin. The authors and publishers are grateful to the Controller of Her Majesty's Stationery Office for permission to reproduce extracts from the 19th Report of the Criminal Injuries Compensation Board (1983). We have a particular debt to those who have faced violence themselves, and have been willing to share painful experiences with us. Some are mentioned in the text; we trust that the book does justice to them all.
