There are many jobs like this one that puts the professionals at a great risk for violence or retaliation against the professional. Such jobs as being a Prosecuting Attorney or judge could make your job more difficult when you know that anyone at any minute could strike back looking for retaliation against the person who put them away and this is what makes this a dangerous job.

Being a friend of a taxi cab driver, I can say that this is also a dangerous job that has also escalated into violence. A friend of mine was driving a taxi cab when he was stabbed twice in the neck and once in the arm after a guy refused to pay him and then proceeded to rob him of his earnings. Taxi cab drivers face the possibility of picking up someone with a plan and could be brutally assaulted or even die from the events during this dangerous job.

Correctional Officers also face violence in the work field. Correctional Officers have a job of securing criminals and making sure that they do not do anything that is out of order but what happens when they are forced to give in or when they refuse and attack breaks out? Being the daughter of a Correctional Officer, I hear about raids in the Correctional Facility in which my dad works or when he comes home telling me about a Correctional Officer who was attacked during a routine search which makes this a dangerous job.

Security Officers jobs are dangerous due to them not being well equipped or trained for an attack. Attacks can occur at any moment and they may not know how to defend themselves. Security Officer Jobs are meant to protect and secure property but sometimes that property becomes the target of a robbery.
