The connection between sexual violence and sports is not a novel conversation in American culture.
We have seen powerful players, coaches, and administrators get called out for their abusive behavior time and time again.

But we also know that sports themselves are not bad. What would happen if we zoomed out from the headlines and thought about the larger system of sports in America as a solution rather than a problem. What if the power of sport could be harnessed to promote health and safety in our communities and model a better way of treating each other?

PreventConnect is sitting down with three co-authors from The Prevention of Sexual Violence in Sport: A Real Game Changer, a new special issue from the Journal of Interpersonal Violence, for a sneak peak at new expert perspective that identifies gaps in sexual violence prevention in sport and provides recommendations to improve prevention efforts.
