Engaging Boys and Men in Sexual Assault Prevention: Theory, Research and Practice explores the theory, research and practice of sexual assault prevention programs for boys and men. Following an ecosystemic perspective, this book examines individual risk and protective factors for sexual aggression, as well as peer-, family-, community- and societal-level factors that influence risk for perpetrating sexual aggression. Although the book includes a discussion of other initiatives to prevent sexual aggression (i.e., bystander intervention programs, given their use among men) the primary focus is on programs that specifically seek to engage boys and men in sexual assault prevention. The author first introduce key issues, including summarizing key risk and protective factors for sexual aggression among boys and men (i.e., healthy masculinity, rape myth acceptance).The second and third sections provide an overview of the need for sexual assault prevention efforts specific to boys and men, outlining the theory and research of current prevention practices, and raise current controversies and questions facing the field. Finally, the book addresses special topics including, false accusations and military sexual violence.
