Is sexual harassment a problem for men as well as women?
Article Abstract:
Two professors think that sexual harassment is a problem for men as well as women because researchers tend to focus on women and not include male victims. Furthermore, men do not consider crude jokes or sexual innuendoes a form of harassment. An attorney in Los Angeles says that 98% of sexual harassment victims seeking legal assistance from her were women. She believes that the film 'Disclosure' was not about sexual harassment, but about an unusual sexual confrontation between a woman boss and a male worker, which subverts the real issue.

Debate over treatment
Article Abstract:
There are many different solutions to the problem of preventing the physical abuse against women. Officials in San Diego, CA, have devised a policy of mandatory arrest and earlyprosecution of abuse suspects as a method to prevent battery incidents. Duluth,MN, has adopted counselling programs for prospective abusers as a means to solve the problem. Some believe that these solutions have proven to be insufficient in deterring similar acts in the future.
