Abstract

In 'Hardship Duty', Stephanie Bonnes focuses on the puzzle of how sexual abuse remains highly prevalent in an organization that has dynamic policies, prevention strategies, and evolving education programs designed to combat sexual violence as well as victim services and legal assistance. Bonnes uncovers the processes that sustain sexual violence vulnerability, and the institutional and interpersonal factors that contribute to harassment. She also examines how organizational values shape harassment and broader workplace experiences of U.S. servicewomen.
