Subject(s): Summary: This book describes successful programmes that have been implemented to prevent dating violence and sexual assault among adolescents. The United States-based authors have drawn on data from interviews with over 50 experienced practitioners across the United States, and an extensive review of published literature. In considering the findings of the research, the authors discuss the limitations of empirical programme evaluation and prevention programme research in general. While not recommending a single model, the authors provide their views on the factors that would contribute to an ideal programme.
