“…The offender was a business owner who sexually abused a 16-year old male adolescent with a possible mild intellectual disability (Case 2014). Like other cases of workplace sexual harassment, a male subordinate was sexually exploited by his direct supervisor (AWARE Sub-Committee on Workplace Sexual Harassment, 2008;Foote & Goodman-Delahunty, 1999) with ready access to the adolescent (Strategy 2). The disability and naivety of the complainant about the workplace and professional relationships, in addition to his sexual naivety (Strategy 1: vulnerable victim) meant that he lacked awareness of the extent to which the offender's behavior was inappropriate.…”

Little is known about the extent to whichinstitutional child sex offending differs from non-institutional offending. Strategies to secure the compliance of child victims were systematically compared to compare the modi operandi (prior to, during and following abuse), and the type of power (intimate, aggressive, coercive) applied by child sexual offenders in institutional versus non-institutional settings. A sample of 59 of the most recent child sexual abuse cases referred for prosecution in three Australian states was manually reviewed and coded. Of these, six were cases of institutional abuse, one of which involved crossover offending. Based on complainant age and gender and patterns in offending behaviors, institutional cases were matched with cases of non-institutional abuse. Complainants of both genders ranged in age from 5 to 16 years at abuse onset. Offenders were male family members or friends, priests, an employer and one female school teacher. Results demonstrated commonalities in the modi operandi and grooming methods applied in institutional and non-institutional contexts. Implications for abuse prevention are summarized.

“…Fineran (2002) contends that this form of sexual harassment "can be [an] instrument that maintains male dominance and reinforces a heterosexual society" (p. 66). Same-sex sexual harassment most frequently occurs by males and is most commonly in the form of crude and offensive behaviors (Foote & Goodman-Delahunty, 1999). For both males and females, same-sex sexual harassment increases the risk of multiple physical, psychological, and emotional problems (Magley, Waldo, Drasgow, & Fitzgerald, 1999).…”

This study uses 20 in-depth interviews with lesbian, gay, and bisexual (LGB) young adults aged 18 to 25 years to integrate theoretical constructs from the sociology of sexuality with Agnew’s general strain theory (GST). This approach provides theoretical context to LGB youth’s experiences with victimization and risky behaviors. The use of qualitative data provides a deeper understanding of LGB youth’s experiences with heteronormativity, heterosexism, and homophobia, and how these structural-level processes shape interactional- and individual-level experiences. Integrating sexuality research and GST helps clarify interconnected processes that occur at multiple levels of social life, providing a more complete picture of LGB experiences.

“…In addition, research examining same-gender harassment is becoming increasingly more important. Researchers (Foote & Goodman-Delahunty, 1999;Stockdale, Visio, & Batra, 1999;Waldo, Berdahl, & Fitzgerald, 1998;Wayne et al, 2001) have only begun to examine same-gender harassment.…”

The effects of participants' gender and propensity to sexually harass were examined in a sexual harassment case in which the gender of the harassers and victim were manipulated systematically. Male and female participants scoring either high or low on the Likelihood to Sexually Harass (LSH) scale (Pryor, 1987) reviewed an ostensibly real hostile work environment case and made judgments about the case. When participants were the same gender as the victim, individual differences in LSH failed to influence their judgments. When the participants' gender was the opposite of the victim's, those low in LSH perceived the behaviors as more likely to be sexual harassment than those high in LSH. These results are discussed and their implications considered.
