[edit] US Centred

Sexual harassment is not only punishable in the US, though the History section gives that impression. Perhaps some other countries' harassment laws could be detailed?

Subsections have been created. Shawnc 01:07, 11 January 2006 (UTC)

Further to the above comment, I have added a page on Harassment as covered kkkkk by UK law. I'll let some-one else judge what they think of it as it, is the first thing I've uploaded anything to Wikipedia, before I add in a link on the page to it. jennyemily.

Adding Canada and UK still makes it quite US centered (As those are the two closest society you coul find). It would be interresting to have an overview of what exists in europe, japan, china, russia ... well, in other cultures than US. ( US, canada and UK and pretty much the same culture anyway. Europe is pretty close to.)

what do i need to do if i am being harassed, however it isn,t sexual, but it does make me feel uncomfortable and i don't want to go to work but i have too because i can't find another job as it is

[edit] Please add a link to mobbing.ca

This is the very definition of mobbing. Mobbing is a form of harassment which takes place in the workplace. You can find more information at http://mobbing.ca

For your convenience here is the link you can add to "External links":

[edit] Subliminal Harrasment

While out surfing I found this informative howto on the lessor know form of harassment called subliminal harassment: http://www.geocities.com/dbdoggle

[edit] SLAPP

Since it is basically an american term and it not in use in Europe or elsewhere, should it just be mentioned under the american section, or under the general legal section as shown? Comments appriciated. Shot info 23:31, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

My pleasure. There are forms of harassment SLAPP suit laws elsewhere. We'll have to expand this. Ilena (chat) 00:16, 26 February 2007 (UTC)
Actually, it doesn't read too bad, although I would write "for example, SLAPP suits" (after all, they an example "legal harassment" in the context of the article Harassment). It does allow a dovetail into the SLAPP article. The SLAPP article is probably the "better" location for the discussion initiated above. Comments? Shot info

[edit] Pronunciation

Does anyone have info about the weird change in pronuncation of the "harassment" that took place among media outlets during the 1980's? 69.180.16.5 02:25, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Telephone Harassment

Shouldn't we have a section on telephone harassment? I have an ex who keeps calling me up and hanging up. She's even done it from her workplace. She just did it again and I'm going to get her fired and arrested for it. During sentencing, the judge will no doubt severely scold her and perhaps even laugh at her--unless she actually uses the only defense that would help her, which is that she is in fact mentally ill. Regardless of how it's adjudicated, however, telephone harassment is a real problem, even in the age of Caller ID, and I'd be happy to write this section of the article if others agree.

[edit] other views on harassment?

There should be something in here about how some right wing and libertarian groups like FIRE argue that the modern definitions of harassment are too politically correct, and that they limit individuals' freedom of expression and therefore are modern-day censorship. I'd put it in, but I just can't find a place to stick it. It definitely is a fairly common view, and I think it deserves a mention, regardless of whether or not you agree with it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Blue bear sd (talk • contribs) 19:30, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
