This list does not contain every on-line public resource on these topics, but it contains many of the better ones...
Data are discrete facts and observations, information is organized data, knowledge is information-in-context, wisdom is knowledge effectively applied to solve problems.
As you may know I'm a big fan of data. You may also know I have strong feelings about workplace violence and how it is approached by the security industry. I strive to use the our publicly available knowledge base - information-in-context - to extinguish unreasonable fear on the part of employers and clients and to enlighten (embarrassingly) unreasoning security practitioners.
What follows are resources I've linked to in my myriad posts on workplace violence and its prevention and a few others I've found more recently. I am not including all news articles I’ve referred to in the past as I do not want to present poor examples out of context. If you wish to read my posts on the subject enter the phrase workplace violence in the search box and they’ll be listed for you.
