Abstract

We respond to three commentaries on our essay, "Trouble in Paradigm: 'Gender Transformative' Programming in Violence Prevention," published in this symposium. Dworkin and Barker prompt us to clarify our presentation of "social norms" mechanisms that undergird paradigmatic public health violence prevention programs. Orchowski leads us to elaborate on the problems we perceive in an information-based descriptive norms approach that disregards the gendered organization of both violence perpetration and normative interactions. Finally, Hollander and Pascoe inspire us to think further about strengthening prevention programs to integrate "intersectional accountability" and be "truly gender-transformative."
