Brown, Jennifer M. "Aspects of Discriminatory Treatment of Women Police Officers Serving in Forces in England and Wales." British Journal of Criminology (Spring 1998): pp. 265-83.
Abstract: Although women have worked in the English police force since 1916, progress has been slow in granting women equal professional status and preventing sexual harassment. Women have not been promoted as frequently as men and sexual harassment continues in a variety of forms, from hearing pejorative comments to suffering unwanted physical contact. The informal masculine culture prevails despite formal attempts to change it.

Abstract: Legitimate administrative concerns over sexual harassment liability deserve attention. Administrators need to know of the disturbing statistics that help to illuminate the problem, the legal ramifications stemming from an agency's failure to address the issues, current trends in the law, and ways that agencies can protect themselves from liability claims. This article addresses those concerns by delineating the scope and severity of sexual harassment problems through examining sexual harassment definitions and the corresponding law that regulates its presence in the workplace. Suggested policies and procedures for establishing a workable sexual harassment policy are included.

Griffith, Benjamin E., ed. Sexual Harassment in the Public Workplace. Chicago, IL: ABA, 2001.Call Number: KF 3467.A7S49 2001
Abstract: This ABA publication expands upon and updates a very successful ABA teleconference, "Sexual Harassment in the Public Workplace," in which over 200 registrants were able to listen and participate in "real time" Continuing Legal Education program sponsored by the ABA's Section of State and Local Government Law and the ABA Center for CLE. Following the US Supreme Court's June 26, 1998, decisions in Faragher v. City of Boca Raton, 118 S. Ct. 2275 (1998), and Burlington Industries, Inc. v. Ellerth, 118 S. Ct. 2257 (1998), lower courts were provided with a remarkable degree of clarification of the evidentiary requirements and the burden of proof needed to establish a claim based on sexual harassment or hostile work environment. Ellerth and Faragher have both led to an increased emphasis on effective training and investigation of sexual harassment claims on the local government level.

Quinn, Beth A. "The Paradox of Complaining: Law, Humor, and Harassment in the Everyday World." Law and Social Inquiry (Fall 2000): pp. 1151-72. Notes: Available fulltext on Westlaw.
Abstract: This article addresses the question of women's seeming rejection of sexual harassment law by refusing to apply the label "sexual harassment" in the face of incidents that would easily qualify as such. Using in-depth interviews with both women and men, the author explores the ways a particular form of hostile work environment harassment--dubbed "chain yanking"--poaches on the realm of ambiguous humor to effect male group solidarity and women's disempowerment. A common counter tactic--"not taking it personal"--is analyzed for its simultaneous power as resistance and unwitting collaboration. The contradictory effects of this tactic-counter tactic pairing on the naming and claiming of the harm of sexual harassment are examined, as well as the implications this has for combating sexual harassment in the workplace.

Toplitt, Sheldon C. "Establishing and Enforcing Your Sexual Harassment Policy." Police Department Disciplinary Bulletin (July 1999): pp. 2-3. Notes: Available fulltext on Criminal Justice Periodical Index.
Abstract: Every police department should make sure it has comprehensive policies and procedures to combat sexual harassment. Your department may have passed a procedure stating that they must have a nonharassment policy. However, ordering a department to implement and enforce a sexual harassment policy without telling it more is like ordering a mechanically inept person to build a woodshed without blueprints and the necessary tools.

Veidt, Cynthia Wilson. "Where There's Smoke, There Must Be Fire: Rights of the Accused Sexual Harasser." Review of Litigation (Winter 2000): pp. 71-96. Notes: Available fulltext on Criminal Justice Periodical Index.
Abstract: Until recently, there had been little discussion of the need for employers to address the rights of accused harassers. The general consensus has been that employers have an affirmative obligation to protect the accusing victim at all costs, or else face liability under hostile work environment claims. However, recent cases indicate that the pendulum of public opinion is swinging back from an all or nothing view toward balancing the rights of both the accusing victim and the accused harasser.

Welsh, Sandy. "The Multidimensional Nature of Sexual Harassment." Violence Against Women (February 2000): pp. 118-41. Notes: Available fulltext on Criminal Justice Periodical Index.
Abstract: This research attempts to address two concerns: (a) What types of sexual harassment behaviors are experienced by women complainants? and (b) Are these experiences of sexual harassment characterized by isolated or multidimensional incidents? The research shows that women complainants experience a range of behaviors, with quid pro quo harassment occurring in only 14% of the complaints. Complaints are also found to have a multidimensional nature and can be characterized as either containing poisoned environment harassment or quid pro quo sexual behaviors.
