Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health

The Moore Center for the Prevention of Child Sexual Abuse is committed to changing the way people view child sexual abuse, from inevitable to preventable. It recognizes that everyone shares in the responsibility for prevention and that everyone benefits when children remain safe from abuse.

The Center pursues its mission by supporting and conducting interdisciplinary research, educating and training students and professionals, providing objective information to policymakers and the media, and partnering with organizations that complement our mission to improve national and international policies targeting child sexual abuse—and especially to develop strong prevention strategies.
