34 U.S.C. § 12511 — Sexual assault services program

Page 389 TITLE 34—CRIME CONTROL AND LAW ENFORCEMENT § 12511 pervisor, manager, or union representative about the harassing conduct. ‘‘(12) The impact of domestic violence, dating vio- lence, sexual assault, and stalking on the workplace is a part of the challenge of workplace harassment. ‘‘(13) Studies indicate that one of the best predic- tors of whether a survivor will be able to stay away from his or her abuser is the degree of his or her eco- nomic independence. However, domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking often negatively impact a survivor’s ability to maintain employment. ‘‘(14) Abusers frequently seek to exert financial control over their partners by actively interfering with their ability to work, including preventing their partners from going to work, harassing their partners at work, limiting their partners’ access to cash or transportation, and sabotaging their partners’ child care arrangements. ‘‘(15) Economic abuse refers to behaviors that con- trol an intimate partner’s ability to acquire, use, and maintain access to money, credit, ownership of as- sets, or governmental or private financial benefits, including defaulting on joint obligations (such as school loans, credit card debt, mortgages, or rent). Other forms of such abuse may include preventing someone from attending school, threatening to or ac- tually terminating employment, controlling or with- holding access to cash, checking, or credit accounts, and attempting to damage or sabotage the credit- worthiness of an intimate partner, including forcing an intimate partner to write bad checks, forcing an intimate partner to default on payments related to household needs, such as housing, or forcing an inti- mate partner into bankruptcy. ‘‘(16) This
