This research is the first of its kind that analyzes risk factors and the effectiveness of prevention efforts regarding sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) in UN peacekeeping operations, by applying theories of criminology. It was able to confirm relationship between several prevention measures and reduction of SEA allegations, and some areas that showed a potential link. It is a shame that the lack of sufficient data prevented further findings. Further inquiry into the role of the peacekeepers' country of origin, for example, could be very informative. Despite those hurdles, the research shed light on the unexplored area of risk and prevention of SEA, and provided with useful practical clues not only for academics but also for the UN and States' policy makers, as well as for managers and commanders in the field in planning their operation. -- Ai Kihara-Hunt, University of Essex

This is the book we have been waiting for! Neudorfer's research shows us which factors contribute to an increase in sexual exploitation and abuse in UN peacekeeping missions, and more importantly, which factors and policies can and do prevent abuse. Essential reading for anyone interested in ensuring peacekeeping operations protect the people they are sent to aid. -- Dyan Mazurana, Tufts University This research is the first of its kind that analyzes risk factors and the effectiveness of prevention efforts regarding sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) in UN peacekeeping operations, by applying theories of criminology.
