Identifying and Responding to 'Powerful Perpetrators' of Sexual Misconduct
A comparative study has been launched to investigate high-status and high-public-trust UK professionals who commit sexual harm in various settings.
According to Dr Natasha Mulvihill, Associate Professor in Criminology at the University of Bristol, the study aims to understand how professional regulators and membership bodies can identify and respond to such cases.
While high-profile cases of sexual misconduct often involve celebrities or business leaders, a lesser-recognized group of perpetrators are high-status professionals who offend against adults.
We have become familiar with media stories about high profile cases of sexual misconduct, often among celebrities or in the business world.
The study seeks to address this gap in knowledge and provide insights into effective strategies for identifying and responding to sexual harm perpetrated by high-status professionals.
