Research studies have shown that as many as 80 percent of students are sexually harassed by their peers, ranging from minor, isolated incidences to repeated, criminal actions. Students Harassing Students deals with definitions, problems, suggested solutions and preventions. Each chapter begins with a scenario or case study that demonstrates what educators need to be aware of and address. Cantrell presents liability issues in language easily understood by readers who are not legal scholars. Accessible to non-educators as well as administrators and teachers, this book provides potential policies for preventing and dealing with sexual harassment.
