Abstract
An overview of research on the effectiveness of sexual assault prevention education programmes in Australia and the US is provided, considering some of the limitations and unintended consequences of the approaches to sexual assault prevention. The impact of construction of gender and sexuality on the kinds of prevention strategies promoted with a key focus on the needs of young women and men who are most vulnerable to sexual assault either as victims or perpetrators is discussed.
