Metoo Case Study

Police sexual misconduct is a significant problem faced by police forces and citizens all over the world. Because sexual misconduct is often unreported, it is difficult to know just how many cases there have been, though studies show that they may be fairly

On February 9, 2011, at approximately 7:15 AM, I, GBI Special Agent Abigail Wilkes, arrived at 293 Stone Road to process a crime scene involving two deaths. When I arrived, the crime scene was secured with yellow tape. I met with Deputy Sheriff Ray Chandler. Chandler told me that the two victims, Steve Campbell and Sherry Campbell, had two gunshot wounds each. Sherry Campbell died in the master bedroom of the residence, but emergency medical services (EMS) took Steve Campbell from the scene. Chandler informed that the EMS personnel entered the residence through the front door and placed Steve Campbell on a stretcher. Steve Campbell 's injuries created a blood drip trail when he was transported to the ambulance. The drip trail began in the master bedroom, went through the hallway, out of the front door, and into the yard of the residence. Steve Campbell died on the way to the hospital.

In the case of Kusmider v State, Thomas Kusmider was told by his girlfriend that another individual had sexually assaulter her. Kusmider went to this individual's home where a confrontation ensued and the individual was shot by Kusmider (Brody and Acker, 2010). Even though the shot was not fatal, it was near his adam’s apple and blood began to drain down his windpipe. Upon the paramedics arrival, the individual was unresponsive, but enroute to the hospital, the individual began flailing his arms and was able to pull the breathing tube that had been inserted to help him breath. The individual died later on at the hospital.

Women have been sexually harassed and assaulted in the work force for years, and for many years, the US Army has been dealing with this enormous and overwhelming issue, through the help of their agency known as the Equal Opportunity Program (EOP). In the US Army regulation 600-20, Army Chief of Staff, General Raymond T Odierno, States the purpose, “This regulation prescribes the policies and responsibilities of command, which include the Well-being of the force, military discipline, and conduct, the Army Equal Opportunity (EO) Program, and the Army Sexual Assault Victim Program.“ For a long time, the Army’s EOP Equal Opportunity

On October 15th of this year, actress Alyssa Milano, started a trend on twitter for women to write “me too,” in order to reflect the extent of sexual assault. This became a trend taking over all social media, showing the vast majority of women who have had a sexual assault experience. In response to this, writer, journalist, and LGBTQ activist, Benjamin Law wrote on twitter, “Guys, it’s our turn. After yesterday’s endless #MeToo stories of women being abused, assaulted and harassed, today we say #HowIWillChange.” To which he followed up with ways in which he will help be an ally to women, like reporting his friends for sexual assault if it came up. Benjamin Law is an example of someone who understands that the solution to this issue is not blaming other men, but to focus on how he could

In this article review I chose to right about a case that happened in East Helena, Montana. This article goes into the court case findings and the investigation. I have actually found a local new station article to get the whole back story.

A late arrangement of profoundly exposed campus sexual assaults and the flawed reactions by the scholastic organizations where they happened, has driven some policymakers and academic administrators to call for administrative and institutional change. For such changes to be powerful, academic administrators and officials need arrangements that successfully secure victims, discipline culprits, and inspire institutional compliance with appropriate legislation. Moreover, there has been huge level headed discussion about how much the criminal justice system can and ought to be included when sexual assaults happen on school grounds. To address these inquiries, there should be a more intensive comprehension of existing state sexual assault laws and their ability to handle sexual assault that happen on school grounds.

Sexual assault has been a rising problem in the United States for the last few years. With rising numbers of cases, and more people coming forward with their stories, it sometimes gets difficult to see where the truth really lies. Sexual assault, as defined by The United States Department of Justice is, “any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient”. This definition is closely followed by the statement that sexual assault is a felony, and those convicted of sexual assault, by law, must go to prison. However, the judicial system does not always work in a way that helps the victims, but more often than not, it serves to further their plight. The California “Yes Means Yes” law should remain

Erin Wade is chief executive of Homeroom, a restaurant. Recently she had gotten multiple emails from her staff about harassment. Apparently there had been multiple counts of harassment against female employees, but Wade had never heard of them because the complaints were shut down by male managers. Wade was shocked to hear about this and decided to create a color coded system for reporting incidents. The system has since decreased harassment drastically. Wade advocates for more news stories with solutions to harassment problems rather than publishing even more redundant articles that focus on the harassers and how their lives are changed.

Harassment has no boundaries when it comes to race, age, or gender. As mentioned previously, there are sometimes underlying problems when it comes to lower-status positions and high-status positions. Power can be dangerous in the hands of the wrong person and can often be said in the workplace where power can lead to sexual harassment. Debbie Dougherty, an assistant professor of communication in the College of Arts and Science at the University of Missouri-Columbia, did an assessment based on opinions and perceptions of 23 participants. The study was focused around the question “why does sexual harassment occur?” and the most common answer that came up was “power.” One thing Debbie noticed was the fact that men and women had different opinions

A systematic analysis of S.1752 is essential to forecasting potential intended and untended consequences of the bill. Context will also be considered to ensure a balanced and unbiased bill analysis. If the bill is enacted, it will become law until amended or repealed. The extent to which this bill will accomplish it’s purpose of removing the authority of sexual assault cases from COs in the victim’s COC is currently unknown. If enacted, S.1752 will be enforced by prosecutors under the authority of the UCMJ.

Providing equality within sexual harassment cases gives rise to the question of the Reasonable Woman Standard, a gendered variant of the Reasonable Person Standard. I will argue in this essay that the reasonable woman standard in theory, is a progressive concept; however, in practice it hinders the unobstructed application of the law and negatively affects women.

Sexual harassment is a problem that human resource managers are struggling to solve every day. Recently Uber has fired over 20 employees due to a sexual harassment investigation which started in November 2016, it is uncommon for a company to release so many employees from one sexual harassment claim but that’s because the human resource management didn’t know how to solve this problem. Uber isn’t the only company struggling to find ways to deal with sexual harassment in the workplace. Sexual harassment can cause a loss in productivity, low morale, higher employee turnover and higher absenteeism and on top of that it could cost a company thousands to millions of dollars in court and procedural costs. Uber had over a 100 incidents that became public after the investigation began; so how did these incidents go neglected?

Unfortunately, there’s a whopping thirty-four percent that believe accidental harassment is a thing. For example, CommonSensePeople writes: “For all the people out there who cry it's sexist that women can't go around topless, I am going to give you an irrefutable argument to why it isn't sexist. A woman is topless, a man "accidentally" gropes her chest, he's going to be spending the next few years in prison and registering as a sexual offender. Next scenario. A man is topless, a woman "accidentally" gropes his chest, even if he does freak out, which he probably wouldn't, but if he did, the entire police station will laugh him out of the station for reporting it. The reason it is illegal for women to walk around topless isn't for the children's sake. It is because there are completely different rules and regulations when it comes to men and women and their bodies. (sure you can say double standards are sexist, but I don't hear any women complaining about my above double standard).” His argument is so very weak. He’s claiming women are responsible for our breasts being sexualized because some women choose to accentuate them. It’s true, a portion of women make the most of their chest to attract partners, make money, or simply because they want to feel confident about themselves. In reality, most women go about their day with clothing to a maximum to keep a man’s animalistic urges to a
