Abstract
This chapter will examine the development of thinking and some emerging practice in relation to the prevention of sexual abuse using a public health approach. It will then discuss the implications for risk management of conceptualising prevention in this way. It will argue that prevention should lie at the heart of risk management thinking and planning and will suggest a way in which a public health approach to prevention can help inform risk management at strategic and operational levels.
