“…One approach to measuring the prevalence of sexual assaults at parks and playgrounds involves gauging where offenders come into contact with their victims. Collectively, these studies show parks are rarely contact points for victims and offenders (Calkins, Colombino, Matsuura, & Jeglic, 2015; Colombino, Mercado, & Jeglic, 2009; Colombino, Mercado, Levenson, & Jeglic, 2011; Mogavero & Kennedy, 2017; Smallbone & Wortley, 2000).
