The following pages lay out a primary prevention approach with a special focus on effecting change by influencing policies and altering organizational practices.We begin with a short discussion of emerging environmental challenges followed by an examination of specific norms that contribute to child sexual abuse and exploitation. The third section, grounded in the belief that a single individual or sector cannot address the problem in isolation, provides the framework for a comprehensive strategy across the Spectrum of Prevention (see Figure 2, page 8) designed to transform environments so all children can thrive in safe and supportive communities.

Results of this analysis suggest that residential proximity had very little impact on the 224 offenses for two identified reasons. First, social or relationship proximity was found to be of greater significance. Second, where direct contact was made, offenders were unlikely to do so close to their residences.

"This report provides an overview of promising violence prevention initiatives across the nation, with special focus on the primary prevention of violence affecting youth and adult intimate partner violence. Specific attention is given to initiatives directed at particularly vulnerable populations, including racial/ethnic groups, immigrants, low-income populations, girls and women, and others. Due to the complexity of the issue, comprehensive approaches to the primary prevention of violence affecting youth and adult intimate partner violence are emphasized as preferable to unrelated individual programs. Making a significant impact in a community requires a cluster of effective activities at different levels (e.g., government, community, and training programs)."

This report describes several promising practices towards the primary prevention of violence:

Comprehensive Government-led Initiatives
Gang Violence Prevention and Intervention Programs
Youth Development Programs
Youth-Driven, Youth-Led programs
School-Based Programs
Mental Health Programs
Intimate partner and sexual violence prevention programs
Coalitions and Collaboration
Training and Leadership Development
Public Awareness Campaigns

The Appendix includes program descriptions including mission, goals, target populations, history/overview, and contact information.
