Abstract

Sexual harassment is a serious and widespread social issue affecting numerous young people across the globe. Sexual harassment is prevalent in many everyday situations and contexts, not least in school. In recent years, public discussions emerging from the seminal #MeToomovement, have put the adversities of sexual harassment in the academic spotlight. This special issue presents cutting-edge research on sexual harassment among young people from international scholars spanning a variety of perspectives, methodological approaches, and demographic samples. The special issue organizes the individual contributions into four sections, focusing on (1) developmental aspects on sexual harassment, (2) contexts of sexual harassment, (3) sexual harassment among diverse groups of young people, and (4) policies and legislation around sexual harassment. All contributions outline social policy and social intervention implications of their findings. Hopefully, the special issue will inspire future efforts to study and combat sexual harassment among young people.

特刊简介：年轻人的性骚扰

性骚扰是一个严重而普遍的社会问题，影响着全球众多年轻人。性骚扰普遍存在于许多日常场合和环境中，尤其是在学校。近年来，由开创性的 #MeToom 运动引发的公众讨论将性骚扰问题推向了学术的聚光灯下。本特刊介绍了国际学者对年轻人性骚扰问题的前沿研究，这些研究涉及不同的视角、方法论和人口统计样本。特刊将文章分为四个部分，分别关注：(1) 性骚扰的发展方面；(2) 性骚扰的背景；(3) 不同青年群体中的性骚扰；(4) 有关性骚扰的政策和立法。所有文章都概述了其研究结果对社会政策和社会干预的影响。希望这期特刊能激励今后研究和打击年轻人性骚扰的工作。
