This book brings together a thought-provoking collection of
original contributions to the study of sexual crime prevention.
Written in an accessible and practical style, the book begins with
an exploration of the theoretical underpinnings of sexual crime
prevention, as well as the history and development of prevention
work over the years, providing an overview of prevention
initiatives around the world. The second section spotlights three
in depth case studies of organisations delivering prevention work
in the UK. Final sections of the book explore the service user
experience, impact of the media, and attitudes and consideration of
future directions for prevention work. The book is relevant not
only to psychologists, criminologists, social workers and students,
but to practitioners, researchers and anyone with an interest in
learning about sexual crime prevention.

This book offers a collection of original contributions to current
research available on Circles of Support and Accountability (CoSA)
by engaging with current literature and unpublished research in the
field. The book explores the role of narrative identity in
desistance from sexual crime and how CoSA maps onto this, as well
as a history of CoSA across the world. The text then moves into an
empirical section, reporting on some unpublished findings,
including an evaluation of a new prison-based CoSA in the UK.
Lastly, the experiences of service users and the influence of media
perceptions are explored, offering a space for the 'unheard voices'
as well as consideration of future directions for practitioners.
The book is relevant not just to psychologists, criminologists,
social workers and students, but to practitioners and the general
public with an interest in learning about CoSA. The editors of this
volume have all been involved in the setting up of the Safer Living
Foundation, a charity formed in 2014 to reduce and prevent sexual
offending.
