Sexual Violence Prevention
Victoria L. Banyard, Mary M. Moynihan, and Elizabethe G. Plante conducted a meta-analysis based on 46 studies. They study how exposure to pornographic materials is connected with various negative outcomes such as an increase in sexual violence. A review of the journal "Sexual violence prevention through bystander education: An experimental evaluation," affirms the consistency of the link between sexual aggression behavior and explicit sexual materials.
The recent work of Banyard, Moynihan, and Plante attempts to integrate laboratory experimental strategies and cross-sectional survey studies to give a convincing and useful model of the possible outcomes of explicit sexual materials on behavior and sexually aggressive attitudes. Their studies suggest that men scoring high on some risk factors like higher hyper-masculinity, hostility towards women, a high frequency of hostile and sexual fantasies, a high rate of attraction towards impersonal sex and dominance motivation are likely to get exposure to various explicit materials. Consistent with their findings, they used MIDSA across three different sets of samples to measure numerous hyper-sexuality aspects. Additionally, based on the three sets of samples, high pornography scores consistently related with aspects of high anger, psychopathy, and aggression. In correlation studies, Banyard, Moynihan, and Plante established that pornography contributed peculiar variance to sexual aggression prediction (Banyard Moynihan & Plante, 2007).
While analyzing numerous experiments on the subject, Banyard, Moynihan and Plante suggest that not only are males scoring high in sexual aggression conducts more expected to be attracted to excessive use of pornography, they are similarly more expected to be influenced by being exposed to such materials. It is evident that males with high scores of self-reported inclination towards sexual aggression in females are much expected to rate females as deriving fun from sexual assaults (Banyard Moynihan & Plante, 2007). On the contrary, males with low scores on the chances of committing a rape assault demonstrated no impact. Therefore, exposure to explicit sexual material might aggravate sexually aggressive tendencies exclusively in those…

Introduction
Violence prevention programs focus on curtailing forms of violence in society, such as child abuse, domestic violence and sexual assault. These programs often emphasize personal responsibility, information about what constitutes violence (it is often the case that offenders do not even realize they are being abusive), why long-term solutions are better than quick-fixes, and how to engage in respectful rather than
