An Integrated Systems Model for Preventing Child Sexual Abuse utilizes a public health approach and 'whole of society' philosophy in pursuit of its goal: preventing and responding to child sexual abuse. Following on the heels of Understanding Child Sexual Abuse: Perspectives from the Caribbean (2013), which brought to international attention the presence and significance of Caribbean research and theoretical perspectives on child sexual abuse, the present book explores strengths-based approaches and provides new information for empowerment strategies and community participation in preventing child sexual abuse. In pointing to a more systemic approach to the problem, this volume is invaluable reading for activists and professionals from a range of disciplines, especially those in policy, practice and planning positions.
