“The European Perspective on Prevention Programs Aimed at Minor Attracted Adults”
(30 min.)
There are several European programs aimed at the prevention of child sexual abuse by targeting the potential abuser. There are now programs that offer anonymous help in Germany, Denmark, Great Britain and the Netherlands. The Dutch Stop it Now! program started April 2012 and is quite successful. In this presentation I shall report on the organization of the program, on our mission, on the group of men we are reaching and on the reaction of the public and of the paedophilic community. I shall compare the different European programs and also report on a research project from the Dutch and British Stop it Now! (subsidized by the European Union) that aims at developing a toolkit for European countries for the implementation of a prevention program.
