The Men's Program is a revolutionary step in the fight to end rape in our country and our world. John Foubert is a visionary whose step by step guide found in "The Men's Program" has been proven through research to reduce the likelihood that an individual will commit sexual assualt. Foubert's method is that rather than treating men as the problem, he teaches men the steps to counsel a rape victim. It has been shown that by taking this positive approach and making men more aware of the trauma that a sexual assault victim goes through and how to deal with that situation, men are less likely to commit assualt themselves. "The Men's Program" will teach you step by step how to establish a core group to present the program to groups on your campus and continue to successfully lower men's likelihood of raping. John Foubert is indeed a pioneer, it is thanks to him and this work that we will win the fight against sexual assault in this country.

Dr. John Foubert's work in the field of Rape and Sexual Assault prevention has changed countless lives for the better. Not only does his work contain the universal message that we, as a society should work to end all rape, but also it uniquely suggests that the best way to do this is by enabling men as helpers through empathy. The guide is not only helpful to the person reading it, but to the whole community, as it explains how to create a chapter of the organization "One in Four", a collection of men seeking to end violence against women. This book, now in it's third edition, has been meticulously researched over a career, refined and revised to include more information, and still is the most effective rape prevention program on a college campus to ever be statistically evaluated. A must read for anyone looking to make a difference and encourage others to do so at their college, university, high school, or sports team.

The One-in-Four men's program was instrumental in changing the culture of male rape education on campus. This program is a must for any college serious about educating men on rape and making a lasting impact. This book, with the advice and training from Dr. Foubert helped our One-in-Four chapter flourish and quickly establish acceptance from the men on campus.

I have never seen nor heard of a better book about rape prevention. This guide takes you through every step of setting up a rape prevention program in a college, high school, military unit or community agency. A must-have for anyone currently involved, or who wants to be involved, in the movement to end men's violence against women!
