Criminalising Sexual Harassment

摘要

The article explores the differences between sexual behavior in the workplace and in the public domain. Arguments against criminalising sexual harassment because of incompatibility with the principles of criminal law are shown to be inaccurate. In the labor market, the principles of criminal law are consistent with a definition of sexual harassment as an offense of strict liability, and application of the doctrine of strict liability can protect the value of equality through criminal law.
