Peer Harassment Laws

Peer harassment laws address bullying and harassment among individuals, often in school or workplace settings. These laws protect people from repeated and intentional harmful behaviors, such as verbal abuse, threats, or physical violence. The goal is to create a safe and respectful environment. Schools and employers are typically required to take action when they are aware of harassment, including investigating complaints and implementing measures to prevent future incidents. Legal consequences can arise if they fail to address the issue adequately, ensuring that victims have recourse. Ultimately, these laws aim to promote dignity and safety for everyone.
