PEN2604ASSIGNMENT 2
DUE DATE: 22 MARCH 2024
, ASSESSMENT 2: WRITTEN ASSIGNMENT
DUE DATE: 22/03/2024
QUESTION1
You are the head of a correctional centre in South Africa. As a correctional officer
and supervisor, you need special skills and training to deal with offenders and other
correctional officials in a unique working environment. Carefully read through the
case study and then use the content of your study guide for PEN2604 and all
additional resources given to discuss the following topics from your perspective as a
supervisor and correctional official.
CASE
STUDY
Ms C is Mr A’s supervisor in a correctional centre. Ms C makes frequent flirtatious
comments when they are alone that make him uncomfortable. Mr A ignores
the comments because he needs the job. Ms C asks Mr A to help her to work on a project
one evening. They meet at her house where she has prepared a romantic dinner for the
two of them. She asks him to give her a back massage and makes suggestive remarks
about taking things further, telling him that he can be promoted soon if he “plays his
cards right”.
END OF CASE STUDY
1.1 Which form of sexual harassment is depicted in the case study above? Explain
the reasons why you think it is the specific form of harassment that you have
chosen.
It is a QUID PRO QUO harassment.
This is evident because Ms. C, who holds a higher position of power as Mr. A's supervisor,
is making flirtatious comments and suggesting that Mr. A will receive a promotion if he
complies with her advances. She offers him benefits (promotion) in exchange for engaging
in sexual activities with her. This aligns with the definition of quid pro quo harassment where
someone in authority offers favors or benefits in exchange for sexual favors.
