Although the issue of sexual harassment is one that touches
all employers, its relevance to law enforcement agencies
extends beyond the concerns associated with more traditional
settings.
Sexual harassment is as common to the field of criminal
justice as to any other area of American Enterprise, and
the laws regarding how it should be regarded and dealt
with apply to criminal justice agencies as much as to
private sector workplaces. Awareness of the law and the
consequences for disregarding it are the cornerstone elements
that will guide criminal justice managers in effectively
carrying out their responsibilities and avoiding liabilities
for the agencies they administer.
