Abstract

This paper provides a review and analysis of current programs to prevent sexual abuse of children. Seven aspects of prevention programming are discussed: prevention content, the length of the program, occupation of the trainer, prevention materials, training formats, types of abuse covered, and assertiveness and self-defence skills. Three potential problem areas prevention should address are also discussed. These include: the cognitive orientation of much prevention training, uncertainty surrounding what prevention content should be taught, and the need for the quality assurance procedures.
