SUMMARY:Stop It Now! Australia: The power of child sexual abuse perpetrator prevention services
DESCRIPTION:Discussions around child sexual exploitation (CSE) frequently revolve around identifying and responding to instances of abuse. However\, what can we do to prevent perpetration? \n\n\n\nIn 2023\, the University of NSW (UNSW)\, in partnership with Jesuit Social Services\, released the first national representative study\, Identifying and understanding child sexual offending behaviour and attitudes among Australian men. The study found around one in six (15.1%) Australian men reported sexual feelings towards children. Of these\, 29.6% of them wanted help for these feelings\, representing a shocking 4.5% of Australian men. \n\n\n\nThis month’s Brown Bag will focus on the importance of secondary prevention efforts in the fight to end child sexual abuse. Presented by Georgia Naldrett and Dee Nicholas from Stop It Now! Australia (an initiative of Jesuit Social Services)\, the session will provide a brief history of perpetration prevention\, findings from their 2023 perpetration prevalence study with UNSW\, and how they relate to Stop It Now!’s work. Georgia and Dee will also explore emerging trends from the perpetrator prevalence study and working with perpetrators via the Stop It Now! Australia helpline\, including what we know about their online behaviour (e.g. use of cryptocurrency\, pornography use etc.). \n\n\n\nRegistrations close on Monday\, 27th May at 12pm (AEST). \n\n\n\nAbout Stop It Now!\n\n\n\nStop it Now! is a program that offers an anonymous helpline\, chat and web resources for people concerned about their own sexual thoughts and behaviours towards children\, or for people concerned about the thoughts or behaviours of others. ICMEC Australia recently partnered with Jesuit Social Services to support the expansion and development of this prevention program in Australia. \n\n\n\nYour Speakers\n\n\n\n\nGeorgia Naldrett is the Stop It Now!
