Sexual Violence: Evidence Based Policy and Prevention By Elizabeth L , Jeglic

Sexual Violence: Evidence-Based Policy and Prevention by Elizabeth L. Jeglic is a comprehensive, research-driven examination of sexual violence with a strong focus on prevention strategies and public policy.
The book synthesizes decades of empirical research to explain the scope, causes, and consequences of sexual violence across different populations and settings. Jeglic explores risk factors at the individual, relational, community, and societal levels, emphasizing how evidence-based interventions can reduce perpetration and victimization.
A central strength of the book is its focus on prevention and policy. It critically evaluates existing prevention programs, legal frameworks, and institutional responses, highlighting what works, what does not, and where gaps remain. Topics include offender management, campus sexual assault prevention, community-based programs, and the role of mental health professionals, educators, and policymakers.
