Preventing Sexual Harm provides an overview of current criminal
justice strategies for tackling sexual violence, and highlights
existing positive criminological approaches that could help prevent
sexual abuse and harm. Sexual violence is a complex, multi-faceted
crime. Its causes and consequences are both multiple and enduring
and our understanding of sexual violence is embedded within our
social, cultural, and political constructs. As such, a response to
sexual violence ought to be equally complex and multi-faceted.
Alternative approaches might therefore be needed, such as positive
criminology. This book explores positive criminology as a mechanism
to reduce the risk of recidivism, eradicate harm, prevent
reoffending as well as to help reintegrate those with histories of
sexual abuse back into the community. In light of recent historic
cases of sexual abuse and poor institutional response to these
allegations, it opens with an overview of the current landscape of
sexual offending. The book then reviews the current positive
criminological approaches already in existence in the effort to
prevent sexual abuse by outlining the approach of positive
criminology and by demonstrating the many gaps in practice that
might benefit from this new way of working to prevent sexual abuse.
By highlighting that an alternative response to sexual violence is
needed, and by presenting the idea that a positive criminological
paradigm is worthy of further examination, this book will be of
great interest to scholars of criminology, criminal justice, and
forensic psychology.
