Studies of legal mobilization often focus on people who have perceived some wrong, but these studies rarely consider the process that selects them into the pool of potential "mobilizers." Similarly, studies of victimization or targeting rarely go on to consider what people do about the wrong, or why some targets come forward and others remain silent. We here integrate sociolegal, feminist, and criminological theories in a conceptual model that treats experiencing sexual harassment and mobilizing in response as interrelated processes. We then link these two processes by modeling them as jointly determined outcomes and examine their connections using interviews with a subset of our survey respondents. Our results suggest that targets of harassment are selected, in part, because they are l...
[...] Part V suggests the addition of an intent component to the DOE sexual harassment definition, in the hope that this will lead to a widespread adoption of this requirement and a drastic reduction in the discipline of children for an offense beyond their comprehension.

The Herman Cain story is a recurring one. A high-profile official faces allegations of sexual harassment from the past. Cain was CEO of the National Restaurant Association when he allegedly committed "several incidents of sexual harassment." His accuser accepted a financial settlement, left her job with the association and -- now that Cain is running for president and the story resurfaces -- declines to "relive the specifics" in public. Since then, other women have come forth giving more details, which have been unequivocally denied by Cain.

Baker discusses the extent to which employers may be liable for the improper sexual conduct of supervisors, including how, in some cases, the employer may not even have the opportunity to offer a defense to liability. The initial focus on sexual harassment centers on whether there was a tangible employment action taken by or which can be attributed to the employer. Only in cases where no tangible action was taken will an employer be able to point to the preventive and corrective measures it has adopted to defend itself.
NEW YORK - It can be a malicious rumor whispered in the hallway, a lewd photo arriving by cell phone, hands groping where they shouldn't. Added up, it's an epidemic - student-on-student sexual harassment that is pervasive in America's middle schools and high schools. During the 2010-11 school year, 48 percent of students in grades 7-12 experienced some form of sexual harassment in person or electronically via texting, email and social media, according to a major national survey released today by the American Association of University Women.
