Notes:	Discussion article that traces the evolution of the concept of ‘preventing’ adult sexual assault from the women’s rights movement of the 1970s to the rape avoidance strategies of the 1980s to the present. Examines the traditional prevention frameworks that are based on individualised responses and rely on the limited concept of rape occurring in a public space perpetrated by a stranger, and compares them to contemporary approaches which address the larger picture of a sexually violent society. Discusses new approaches to prevention which include the addition of sexual assault to the public health agenda, preventative education aimed at young people and shifting the burden for prevention onto men. Table entitled ‘Major responses to sexual assault’ matches levels of prevention to strategies for prevention.
