Recenzje

"In this book Jane brings the vast amount evidence and research together in a way that is compelling and accessible, drawing on her areas of expertise including health behaviour, prevention and sexual violence."

Claire Bloor, CEO SARSAS (Somerset and Avon Rape and Sexual Abuse Support).

"As stated, before sexual abuse happens in communities by members of those communities against each other, and therefore it is our responsibility as members of communities to be aware of the reality of sexual abuse so that we can safety intervene to prevent it from occurring. Which is why this book is so important, we need to talk about sexual abuse to understand it and combat it, which means presenting the evidence base in an informed and accessible way."

Kieran McCartan, Professor of Criminology (University of the West of England)

"Where prevention work has been done it has not covered a range of forms of violence; for example it has focused more often on domestic violence and less so on other forms, such as sexual harassment, stalking or crimes of 'honour'. Jane Meyrick has reviewed some key initiatives in this publication."

Purna Sen, ex UN Women Policy Lead, Visiting Professor CWSAU (London Metropolitan University).
