I don't have any overall statistics, but I found the following links. They can serve as a sample data / population:

http://www.ems.ucla.edu/STATS.htm
http://www.hanoverems.org/html/callstats.htm

I'll try to find more later, I hope that helps a bit

You might try these government sites (but you'll probably have to dig around for the info your looking for)

NIOSH
CDC

I know that NIOSH has done some studies about workplace violence, and it included some stats for behavioral problems but it was restricted to the workplace.

Workplace violence.... I was just thinking about performing some of that. Call me up in 20 and I'll let you know my stats.

It's not actually EMS related - it's related to my real job. 260 hours in the last 4 weeks. things are better now though, I'm only working about 55 hrs a week (no OT) HAHA!
