Abstract
This review examines empirical research regarding workplace physical violence and aggression directed toward public servants. Practical recommendations to help prevent, intervene in, and control aggression and physical violence against public servants are presented, along with the analyses from which these recommendations stem are examined. The research methodology involved a comprehensive analysis of articles from 51 scholarly journals, encompassing publications in 2 languages without temporal restrictions. Our results are to the effect that most of the violence is perpetrated by users and citizens, not coworkers; few recommendations focus on the users and citizens who are violent. The recommendations fell into three categories: enhancing staff and management safety training for aggression prevention, investigating additional violence risk factors through research, and addressing discriminatory workplace practices that may trigger violence. Our research agenda outlines strategic directions for future investigation on physical work violence in the public sector.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
