Download or read book Engaging Men in Sexual Assault Prevention written by Mary Stathopoulos and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page 20 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sexual assault prevention has moved from risk-avoidance messages aimed at women to a more inclusive paradigm that proposes that both women and men have an important role to play in the prevention of all forms of violence against women. This paper looks at the role of men in sexual assault prevention and how men can be engaged as both educators and participants. It discusses the history of sexual assault prevention strategies, masculinities and sexual assault prevention, what is meant by engagement, challenges in engaging men, the use of masculine stereotypes to engage men in sexual assault and violence prevention, overcoming resistance, men's resistance to prevention messages, and the implications for practice. The paper also features comments from practitioners in the field and examples of primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention programs.

Download or read book Sports Violence written by J.H. Goldstein and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 228 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Books about sports, even those written by scholars, are frequently little more than hagiography. They extol the virtue of athletics for participant and spectator alike. Of greater rarity are those that look critically at the political, social, economic, and psychological underpinnings of contemporary sports. Violence in sports is among the relatively neglected issues of serious study. Sports Violence is perhaps the first collection of scholarly theory and research to examine in detail aggression within and surrounding sports. As such, it seeks to present the broadest possible range of interpretations and perspectives. The book is, therefore, both interdisciplinary and international in scope. Two chapters, by Guttmann and Vamplew, are concerned with historical analyses of sports violence. Definitions and perspectives on aggression in general, and sports-related aggression in particular, are the topics of Chapters 4 through 7 by Smith, Bredemeier, Mark, Bryant, and Lehman, and Mummendey and Mummendey. Here, a wide variety of social and psychological theories are brought to bear on the conceptualization of aggression on the playing field and in the stands. Dunning and Liischen, both sociologists of sport, examine the origins, structure, and functions of violence, of sports, and of their interconnections. Psychological interpreta tions and research are presented in chapters by Russell and Keefer, Goldstein, and Kasiarz, while Bryant and Zillmann examine the portrayal and effects of aggression in televised sports.

Download or read book It Doesn t Take Much written by Laura C. Harrington and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 9 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Efforts to prevent sexual violence are increasingly focused on community-level programming and change, rather than intervention at the individual level. Such programs often rely on dissemination of prevention messaging by community influencers or leaders. Research shows athletes often occupy this role within high school environments and thus can be powerful messengers for social change - but less is known about the role of female athletes as messengers for violence prevention. This study explores participant dissemination of Athletes As Leaders, a sexual violence prevention program specifically designed for female-identified high school athletes. In qualitative interviews, athlete participants identified three primary dissemination strategies (sharing a message, intervening, and role modeling), as well as barriers and facilitators experience in the process.
Download or read book Youth Crime Prevention and Sports written by Yvon Dandurand and published by Policy Press. This book was released on 2022-11-22 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sport-based crime prevention programmes are becoming increasingly popular worldwide but until now there has been very little research on the effectiveness of such approaches. Bringing together authoritative evidence from existing programmes, the authors identify and analyse emerging successful practices. Covering mentoring and coaching, particularly as they relate to Positive Youth Development (PYD) programmes, the authors explore how the development of core life skills can improve individual resilience and decrease the risk of criminal involvement. The book conceptualizes the links between criminological theory and PYD and gives recommendations for future policy and practice.
