Harassment is any type of behaviour, usually repeated or persistent, that annoys, alarms, or causes substantial emotional distress in the person it is directed against. It may be caused by prejudice against specific members of society, as in racial harassment, sexual harassment, or harassment on the grounds of sexuality or disability, and includes domestic violence (for the latter, please also refer to this page).
