Litigation Section of the Utah State Bar, the Utah Center for Legal Inclusion & Parsons Behle and Latimer presents an Overview of the Bystander Initiative
ABOUT THE EVENT:
The Bystander Initiative at the S.J. Quinney College of Law is led by Professor Amos Guiora and a team of 10 student research assistants dedicated to the work of criminalizing bystanders and enablers of abuse. The Initiative is undertaking numerous projects including a book, law review articles, and legislative efforts that focus on the role of the bystander and enabler in the U.S. and globally. Acknowledging the entire systemic framework around sexual and other abuse is central to the Initiative’s efforts to prevent and prosecute abuse.
The goal of the Bystander Initiative is to:
- Hold enablers and bystanders accountable
- Work with legislators around the world on criminalizing bystanders and enablers
- Engage in widespread education on the harm caused by bystanders and enablers
