Harassment is the act of attempting to negatively influence, annoy, disturb, upset, disrupt, or threaten a person, organization or business through deliberate, repeated and unwelcome behavior(s).
One common form of harassment is sexual harassment. Unlike sexual harassment, however, harassment in general does not require the harassing party to have authority over the victim.
