The Air Force recently released a new, five-year Sexual Assault Prevention and Response Strategy. The two-part document outlines both response and prevention strategies. Although Airmen will likely be familiar with the programs included in the response portion of the strategy, the prevention strategy presents a new phase in Air Force SAPR efforts. The strategy document explains factors that put an individual at risk for perpetration such as previous unhealthy experiences, beliefs or relationships, and outlines a plan to tailor training to address risk factors in every setting. Airmen will begin seeing portions of the prevention strategy in action this year. The new 2015 SAPR Strategy is available online.
