本文报道了英国第一次基于官方案件记录分析的性骚扰诉讼大规模研究。其目的是确定区分成功和不成功索赔的关键因素。五个主题驱动分析：公信力及其建设，性骚扰的各种类型，权力资源，案件审理的时间段，以及法庭的性别组成。在1995年至2005年期间审理的183起案件的随机样本中对假设进行了测试。工作场所的实际情况与法庭系统的运作之间存在一些重大脱节。索赔人的可信度很重要，取决于他们最初对后来投诉的骚扰的反应，以及他们提出的补充索赔的数量。初级职业的工人在法庭上的成功率较低。法律的代表形式的权力资源显著影响案件结果。索赔人和他们的律师的影响进行了讨论。
This article reports on the first large-scale study of sexual harassment litigation in Britain based on analysis of official case records. Its aim is to identify key factors distinguishing successful and unsuccessful claims. Five themes drive the analysis: credibility and its construction, the various types of sexual harassment, power resources, the time period in which the case was heard, and the gender composition of the tribunal. Hypotheses are tested on a random sample of 183 cases heard between 1995 and 2005. Some important disconnections between workplace realities and the operation of the tribunal system were revealed. Credibility of claimants turns importantly on how they initially reacted to the harassment of which they later complained and on the number of complementary claims they bring. Workers in elementary occupations experience a lower success rate before tribunals. Power resources in the form of legal representation significantly affect case outcomes. Implications for claimants and their advocates are discussed.
