Thank you @JonBrown46 and @NOTAevents for having me along to discuss our recent research on the prevention of child sexual abuse. Thank you to all who attended and for engaging me in such critical and helpful discussions on the implications of this research.@SVRPU_Aus

[Sexual Violence Research and Prevention Unit @SVRPU_Aus]

Excited to present at the next NOTA webinar (23/2/22), on two of our recent studies on prevention. The first presentation focuses on preventing child sexual abuse in the home. The second examines public attitudes toward minor-attracted persons. @JonBrown46 @NOTAevents

Our project w/ our partners Sexual Violence Research & Prevention Unit from Uni Sunshine Coast (funded by Westpac), will hopefully add some data to the big area on the map marked “No studies here at all!”
