Workplace violence infects many organizations. This descriptive study assesses
the extent to which Texas park and recreation departments institute policies and
procedures for preventing worker-initiated violence. Thirty directors from local park and
recreation departments were interviewed by telephone and asked to identify whether their
departments used specific prevention strategies to thwart instances of worker-initiated
violence. The findings reveal few prevention strategies being used and suggest a need for
park and recreation managers to increase their awareness and take a more proactive
approach to violence prevention.
