From the Paper:

"Deadly violence in the workplace is a phenomenon that grew substantially toward the last few decades of the 20th century, before which it occurred so infrequently that it was completely unheard of in many places. Since several high profile tragedies in recent years, workplace security management has included building safety protocols designed to prevent access by unauthorized individuals to company grounds and facilities (Schmalleger, 2001). In general, concerns about security across the board and intensified in the aftermath of the September 11, 2001 attacks as most professional businesses that had not already tightened their security procedures began doing so immediately."
