Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence

Annotated Bibliography: Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence

Sexual relationships should be consensual between partners who are developmentally, physically, and emotionally capable of understanding the interaction. Coerced and exploitive sexual acts and behaviors such as rape, incest, sexual relations between adults and children, sexual abuse, and sexual harassment are always reprehensible. Information and education programs are needed to prevent such acts. Laws are needed to punish the perpetrators. Treatment programs are needed to help survivors and offenders, and research is needed to increase understanding of the causes and effects of sexual exploitation.

This bibliography on "Sexual Harassment and Sexual Violence" is designed to provide professionals with information to help them understand sexual harassment from the legal, educational, and therapeutic perspectives.
