Abstract
This final chapter reviews policy and prevention options and prompts a discussion of whether we can do better at preventing sexual violence. In an attempt to create a menu of available policy and prevention options, we begin to lay out what the selection of options is, as well as each of their associated costs and benefits. The chapter concludes by summarizing how sexual violence prevention initiatives are likely to offer the best return on investment in terms of dollars spent and—more importantly—lowered rates of sexual violence.
