Summary
The prevailing societal understanding of sexual offenses has historically been confined to acts of explicit physical violation. This narrow lens often overlooks the insidious, yet profoundly damaging, array of behaviors that constitute sexual harm.

Sexual offenses exist on a continuum, encompassing a spectrum of actions that range from overt physical assault to more subtle, yet equally destructive, forms of psychological and verbal aggression. This expanded definition acknowledges that harm can be inflicted through words, manipulation, and the systemic erosion of an individual's autonomy and sense of self, even in the absence of any physical contact. The impact of such non-physical aggression can be as devastating,Book information
