The Effects of Violence against U.S. Officeholders
REBECCA HERRICK AND Sue Thomas discuss the effects of violence on U.S. office holders. They use an original survey of mayors in the U.S. cities to explore the individual costs of psychological and physical violence. They find that of the mayors who suffered violence (95 percent), the more violence reported, the more likely they were to have incurred individual costs, including emotional upset, diverted attention from the job, and considerations about leaving it.
