(Social Problems and Social Issues / series ed. Joel Best)
A thorough and informative study of how social panics about perceived moral dangers to children were created and maintained in the Britain of the 1980s. Jenkins (Pennsylvania State Univ.) examines the social context of changing values and political and economic climates supporting beliefs that child abuse, pedophilia, and even satanism were rampant threats to social order, to explain the panic over apparent ritual abuse of children that broke out in 1990-91... This solid, well-written contribution can be read profitably by everyone with an interest in modern British society.
