Globally, rates of sexual violence remain unacceptably high, with
disproportionate effects on women and girls. While most scholars
and practitioners uniformly concur about the scope of the problem,
there is currently little agreement about how to prevent sexual
violence before it occurs.Drawing on diverse disciplines such as
criminology, education, health promotion, law, psychology, social
work, socio-legal studies, sociology and women's studies, this book
provides the first interdisciplinary collection on the primary
prevention of sexual violence. The volume addresses the key causes
or determinants of sexual violence, including cultural attitudes,
values, beliefs and norms, as well as systemic gender-based
inequalities that create the conditions underlying much violence
against women. Including contributions from internationally
renowned experts in the field, the volume critically investigates
the theoretical underpinnings of prevention work, describing and
analysing the limits and possibilities of primary prevention
strategies 'on the ground'. The chapters collectively examine the
role that structural violence and gender inequality play in
fostering a 'culture' of sexual violence, and reflect on the
relationship between macro and micro levels for understanding both
sexual violence perpetration and prevention.This book will be a key
resource for scholars, practitioners and policymakers involved in
the fields of sexual violence prevention, education, law, family
violence, and child sexual abuse.Including contributions from
Victoria L. Banyard (University of New Hampshire, USA), Alison
Cares (Assumption College, USA), Moira Carmody (University of
Western Sydney, Australia), Gillian Fletcher (La Trobe Univeristy,
Australia), Wendy Larcombe (University of Melbourne, Australia),
Claire Maxwell (University of London, UK), Mary M. Moynihan
(University of New Hampshire, USA), Bob Pease (Deakin University,
Australia) and Antonia Quadara (Australian Institute of Family
Studies, Australia).
