We believe effective efforts to end sexual abuse and exploitation must cut the hype, relentlessly pursue and report the facts, and speak the truth—even when it’s unpopular.

We aren’t satisfied with understanding why and how people and institutions behave in ways that inflict sexual harm. That’s why, we work to identify evidence-based solutions that move us beyond reactive measures. We seek holistic solutions that prevent victimization before it begins.

Perhaps you or someone you care about has experienced sexual abuse or exploitation. Maybe you dream of making the world a safer place, of ending injustices, of finding solutions to some of the world’s most intractable problems. Or, possibly curiosity about sexual abuse and exploitation issues has launched you on a quest to learn more. Whatever it is that brings you to the NCOSE Research Institute, we’re glad you’re here. We invite you to explore the information provided and to join us on our mission to harness the power of data to create a world free from sexual abuse and exploitation.
