I’m working on a law presentation and need support to help me study.Part 1: Respond to the following in a minimum of 175 words: Why do you think males and minorities have higher rates of workplace victimization than do females and non-minority workers?
REPLY TO RESPONSES:
#1. By now, you could probably guess that males are more likely than females to be violently victimized at work or while on duty, except for rape and sexual assault (Duhart, 2001). There is no difference, however, in the rates of theft victimization for males and females—they are equally likely to be the victims of theft while working (Bachman, 1994). Although the patterns for workplace violent victimization for gender follow the trends for victimization more generally (i.e., males have higher rates than do females), the trends for race do not. Rates of workplace violent victimization are highest for Whites. In fact, from 1993 to 1999, the average workplace violent victimization rate was 25% higher for White workers than for Black workers (Duhart, 2001). The rate for workplace violent victimization was similar for Black and Hispanic workers (Duhart, 2001). The last two demographic characteristics to consider are age and marital status. Young adults aged 20 to 34 had the highest rates of workplace violent victimization. Persons who were married or widowed had lower workplace violent victimization rates than those who were never married, divorced, or separated. The last three groups all have similar rates of victimization (Duhart, 2001).
#2. Workplace victimization is expressed in gender, and male and minority workers tend to be mistreated in their working environment the most. The gap between men and women is due to the perception that men are more persistent in mistreatments, and they have less probability of reporting various forms of abuse to the authority (Morash, 2006). This means workplace victimization among males is perceived as something normal, and they are ready to persevere with harsh working environments as long as it provides for their basic needs. (Green & Diaz, 2008). Also, male workers fear that expressing themselves to others makes them inferior to other people, and therefore, their rates of reporting abusive behaviors are low.Males and minority workers are less likely to convince law enforcement that they are victims, and hence, it makes it challenging to seek necessary help because they might not succeed or get the necessary assistance.
