“…However, children should not bear the responsibility for preventing their own abuse. Thus, to maximize this impact, school-based programs could be implemented in conjunction with other modalities and targets of CSA prevention namely efforts engaging parents (Guastaferro et al, 2022; Mendelson & Letourneau, 2015; Rudolph et al, 2018), those designed for older children (Letourneau et al, 2017; Ruzicka et al, 2021), those focused on perpetration prevention (Assini-Meytin et al, 2020; Stephens et al, 2022), and those that are implemented for adults in the larger community (Assini-Meytin et al, 2021). Coordinated, multi-pronged prevention efforts hold the greatest promise for realizing public health impact and producing a change in rates of CSA.…”

Child sexual abuse (CSA) is a public health problem of considerable magnitude. The prevailing primary prevention strategies are universal, school-based CSA prevention programs, some of which have been designated as evidence-based, such as Safe Touches. However, to reach their public health impact potential, effective universal school-based CSA prevention programs require effective and efficient dissemination and implementation strategies. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the reach and effectiveness of a school-based CSA prevention curriculum, Safe Touches, when implemented on a wide scale. Using a longitudinal cohort design, children in second grade classrooms in public elementary schools in five counties received the Safe Touches workshop and completed surveys designed to assess gains in knowledge at four timepoints (one week prior, immediately post-workshop, 6- and 12-months post-workshop). In total, the Safe Touches workshop was delivered in 718 classrooms in 92% of school districts, reaching ~14,235 second graders. Multilevel models ( n = 3,673) revealed that Safe Touches significantly increased CSA-related knowledge, and that these gains were maintained 12-months post-workshop ( ps < .001). There were some small but significant time-varying effects among participants in schools with a greater percentage of low income and minority students, but these effects largely disappeared 12-months post workshop. This study demonstrates that a single-session, universal school-based CSA prevention program can effectively increase children’s knowledge when implemented and disseminated on a wide scale and knowledge gains can be retained 12-months post intervention.

ZusammenfassungDer verursacherbezogene Dunkelfeldansatz des Präventionsnetzwerkes „Kein Täter werden“ bietet seit über einem Jahrzehnt nichtstrafverfolgten pädophilen und/oder hebephilen Hilfesuchenden therapeutische Unterstützung zur Verhinderung von sexualisierter Gewalt gegen Minderjährige an. Kritiker bemängeln jedoch methodische Schwächen in den durchgeführten Selbstevaluationsstudien der Projektverantwortlichen, die die kriminalpräventive Wirksamkeit infrage stellen. Die selbstberichtete Kriminalitätsbelastung liegt in einer aktuellen Follow-up-Untersuchung im Vergleich zu kriminologischen Hellfeldstudien mit Sexualstraftätern deutlich höher. Aus forensisch-kriminologischer Sicht lässt der in Berlin etablierte verursacherbezogene Dunkelfeldansatz erhebliche Zweifel an seiner kriminalpräventiven Wirksamkeit aufkommen.
