Abstract
Traditional responses to child sexual abuse (CSA) have predominantly focused on criminal justice interventions. Recently, attention has shifted towards secondary prevention programs targeting non-offending adults sexually attracted to minors (ASAMs). This discussion article explores the legal, political and cultural contexts influencing the development and implementation of such programs. It begins by clarifying the concepts of pedophilia and hebephilia, then outlines the value of adopting a public health approach to CSA prevention. It reviews secondary prevention programs targeting ASAMs across various countries, highlighting how contextual factors affect their design, delivery, and outcomes. Recommendations are offered to improve the implementation, transferability, and overall effectiveness of these programs.

While contributions will primarily be from the fields of psychology, psychiatry, social work, medicine, nursing, law enforcement, legislature, education, and anthropology, the Journal encourages the concerned lay individual and child-oriented advocate organizations to contribute.
