San Jose Harassment Attorney

Offensive Behaviors

Have you been arrested for a domestic disturbance or domestic violence? Were you accused of harassing someone? The term harassment is a broad umbrella that encompasses numerous offensive and unacceptable behaviors. Harassment in the United States is protected against under the United States Civil Rights Act Title VII. Domestic violence and harassment fall hand-in-hand at times because cohabitating partners or spouses can sometimes act out in harassing behaviors in order to gain an advantage, control or power over another person.

Like stated before, harassment takes many forms. The definitions that it encompasses are broad, but common domestic violence and harassment cases do occur. A common harassment involving domestic violence is sexual harassment. Sexual harassment does not just involve workplace unwanted sexual advantages; sexual harassment can occur between married spouses or family members as well and often lead to other criminal charges. Psychological harassment can be compared to emotional abuse, where the offender uses interruptions or unprovoked intrusions into conversations. Other forms of harassment include bullying of children, stalking of former (or current) significant others and even verbal harassment.
