As someone who considers himself a "good guy", I would love to know how I could help influence potential assaulters to change their thoughts and behavior. However, outside of intervening when I see something fishy (which I have done in the past) or some sort of 1984-esque thoughtcrime prosecution, I don't know what else could be done that would be more effective than risk mitigation on the part of the potential victim.
