"Preventing Sexual Harm provides an overview of current criminal justice strategies to 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 as complex and multi-faceted. Alternative approaches might therefore be needed, such as Positive Criminology. In response, this book explores Positive Criminology as a mechanism to reduce the risk of recidivism, eradicate harm, prevent re-offending as well as helping to reintegrate those with histories of sexual abuse back into the community. In light of recent historical 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, outlining the approach of Positive Criminology and demonstrating the many gaps in practice that might benefit from this new way of working to prevent sexual abuse"-- |
