Training and Systems that Prevent Violence
Before Conflict: Preventing Aggressive Behavior
This book is recommended for anyone responsible for the safety of others, especially people who work in the fields of education, health care
and social services, law enforcement, the retail food service industry, and the U.S. Postal Service.
Learn the Skills that thousands of others have used to diminish and prevent aggression in their lives and their workplaces, and increase your
own productivity as a result.
John D. Byrnes gets to the heart of the concept of aggression
prevention.
Rather than look strictly at violence and all its implications - fatalities,
crime, and assault - Byrnes instead chooses to look ahead, in order to
prevent aggression versus simply reacting to it.
By using Aggression Management®, those responsible for the safety of
others may circumvent the standard practice of mere "conflict
resolution" by dealing with the problem before it creates conflict.
Because everyone experiences and manages anger differently,
Aggression Management® teaches readers not only how to measure
their own aggression, but that of others as well. The result empowers
the reader to stop problems before they even develop.
"The advice and information in this book is not just sound and useful, but
potentially lifesaving."

"On Killing, and Stop Teaching Our Kids to Kill"
"These [skills] enabled me to see the relevance of aggression to me in
ways I'd not considered. . . everyday occurrences that could escalate."

"[These skills] gave me some positive alternatives to physical pressure
often needed with dealing with violent youth. Also gave me some
techniques to use to calm a heated situation. I liked the techniques to
escape, you need every resource you can gather to work with them. How to
escape and protect yourself is very important."
