Abstract

The core of this work is the judicial reappraisal of the boundaries and range of Swiss regulations—effective since October 1, 1992—on sexual harassment through carrying out a sexual action in the presence of someone (Art. 198 Paragraph 1 of the penal code) or violent sexual harassment and verbal harassment (Art. 198 Paragraph 2 of the penal code). These elements of offences are illustrated on the basis of examples, are compared to further variations of sexual harassment and are distinguished from other offences. The relationship between civil law and the difficulties of criminal procedures are also dealt with. At the end of the book, the criminal-political question of the meaning of penal sanctions is examined.
